Isle of Wight Education Strategy 2024 to 2030

This 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.

Strategy priorities

This Education Strategy is underpinned by five priorities which guide our work. These are

  1. high aspirations
  2. rich curricular experiences with meaningful pathways into adulthood
  3. high quality special education needs and disability provision for children and young people
  4. a highly trained workforce, with a range of continued professional development and clear career routes
  5. a sustainable education infrastructure
