Establish 'the' benchmark education authority

The challenge

• In 2016 56% of Buckinghamshire pupils reached the KS2 expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics compared to the national average of 53%
• 74% of Buckinghamshire pupils achieve A*-C grades in English and mathematics GCSEs compared to 63% nationally (October 2016)
• 87% of our students attend good or outstanding schools (October 2016)
• Attainment gap widening – attainment levels at lower end are rising, but attainment levels at the higher end are rising faster
• 50,000 new homes to be built over the next 20+ years
• And budgets are tightening still further
• We are absolutely committed to taking all this in our stride, and driving forward an already high achieving education system
• And we're also absolutely committed to being a role model corporate parent, addressing issues around vulnerabilities, child sexual exploitation and radicalisation
