The Education Service
| "For its
young people, the Education Service with its partners
wishes to provide a system of education, which focuses
on the needs of learners". |
Welcome to the Education Departments information
page
The primary function of the education department is to support
those seeking to improve children and young people's learning
in both formal and informal settings. It seeks to achieve
this by ensuring that the 5 strategic themes, which underpin
the board's corporate plan, are realised. The activities,
which contribute to those themes, are reflected as priorities
in the education department's annual buisness plan.
The department comprises 3 service areas:
- Curriculum Advisory and Support Service
- Pupil Services
- Youth Service
Each area is equipped to provide high quality expertise on a broad
range of services. In order to ensure a co-ordinated and consistent
delivery of all education services to schools, the education
department, in consultation with schools and other educational
partners, has developed a Learning Strategy. This strategy
is now a central aspect of the board's coporate plan. The
strategy is underpinned by a set of principles reflecting
widely accepted values as to what education is all about.
It lays down a framework for action designed to provide a common
focus across the 3 service areas of the department and it identifies
structures which involve working in partnership with other statutory
and voluntary agencies, schools, parents and young people themselves.
You can access all these service areas and documents online. I
trust you find that the information on offer is relevant to your
needs.
