Draft Isle of Wight Education Strategy 2024 to 2030

This draft strategy describes the aspirations and work of the Isle of Wight Council Children's Services department - a cradle to career approach.

We want to build a world class education system for children and young people on the Island, from birth to age 25. 

Our vision is that by 2030 all children on the Isle of Wight will be equipped with the skills and aspirations to access opportunities of their choice.

Draft Strategy priorities

This draft strategy is underpinned by five priorities that will support the achievement of our vision into the next decade.

  1. High aspirations from all and of all.
  2. Enriching curricular experiences with meaningful pathways into adulthood.
  3. High quality SEND provision on island for children and young people.
  4. A well-trained workforce, with a range of continued professional development and clear career routes.
  5. A sustainable school system.
