The Business Plan focuses on the need to raise aspiration and accelerate improvement in pupil outcomes, improve the quality of teaching and leadership, support schools to realise the national reform agenda and to continue to build upon the self-improving system within and across schools and settings.
Priorities for the Business Plan have been derived from LA Strategic Plans, the progress that has been made towards the previous Business Plan (as noted in the regional self-evaluation document), and areas that have been identified as requiring improvements through internal self-evaluation processes, external research and feedback from Estyn.
