Kirklees LA

We provide education for children in schools across Kirklees: in the towns of Batley, Cleckheaton, Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Mirfield and in the rural areas of the Colne, Dearne and Holme valleys. We aim to ensure that each individual is able to access an educational provision which allows her or his potential to be fully realised.

We are committed to the highest possible quality of educational opportunities which are socially inclusive and responsive to the needs and aspirations of all. We believe that education is vital to the future of the people of Kirklees. It is a source of personal development and fulfillment. It contributes to the competence and confidence of individuals and communities and provides a basis for the economic strength which allows aspirations to be fulfilled.

We are determined to raise standards and deliver programs which will raise standards and achievement. We work in partnership with our schools and, in our Strategic Framework, we have set out our duties and responsibilities as well as our statutory obligations. We clearly state our key objectives which relate to Inclusion and Cohesion leading to Attainment.
