Priorities and Plans for Education and Children's Services

Our vision is to:

Create a positive and ambitious environment for Reading children, young people and families, so that they: 

• are happy and coping with change and challenge 
• are enthusiastic and skilled learners 
• value themselves and others

We will do this by 

• Keeping children safe 
• Building emotional resilience 
• Intervening earlier 
• Developing inclusive practice 
• Improving schools and raising attainment 
• Promoting lifelong learning

We will transform our services by 

• Increasing user participation in decisions 
• Becoming a learning organisation 
• Managing performance using outcomes 
• Improving value for money through better commissioning 
• Enhancing project management 
• Transforming our business processes
