Action research into the evolving role of the local authority
Local Authority key roles will be to:
Support parents and families through promoting a good supply of strong schools – encouraging the development of Academies and Free Schools which reflect the local community.
Ensure fair access to all schools for every child. Use their democratic mandate to stand up for the interests of parents and children. Support vulnerable pupils – including Looked After Children, those with Special Educational Needs and those outside mainstream education.
Support maintained schools performing below the floor standards to improve quickly or convert to Academy status with a strong sponsor, and support all other schools which wish to collaborate with them to improve educational performance.
Develop their own school improvement strategies – they will be encouraged to market their school improvement services to all schools, not just those in their immediate geographical area.”
