Context Roles and responsibilities have changed significantly (and then changed again!) over the last 18-24 months New education landscape with diversity of providers and leadership, governance and accountability Parental choice and growing competition between providers New inspection regime for schools and local authorities In this context, how does the local authority maintain ‘partnership to improve outcomes’?

The Role of the Local Authority Local authority as ‘champions for children & families’ “They are all our children” Statutory requirements around sufficiency and quality assurance for all providers Challenge and brokerage to support school improvement Local authority as the ‘interface’ – linking providers, businesses and communities Supporting the most vulnerable

It’s not just about ‘learning outcomes’! Although they’re very important! Schools, academies and colleges are critical partners for the local authority as the only truly universal provider Central to delivering other priorities like economic growth, tackling unemployment and safeguarding our most vulnerable. The best providers work closely to deliver in partnership and it all contributes to success at inspection Quality teaching and inspiring teachers and support staff create aspirational young people - ready to be good citizens, making a positive contribution.
