Provide an equal foundation for every child

Over three quarters of Essex’s schools are good or outstanding, and as our county and our communities grow, so will the opportunities for every young person.

Our ambition is to make sure every child has the chance of a great future by eradicating the gap in outcomes for disadvantaged children, giving every child the knowledge, support and security they need to seize every chance at success and happiness.

Our priority...Improving school readiness, supporting safe and secure relationships, and making sure every child can go to a great Essex school.
