Developing a world-class education system in Leeds is vital to achieving the city’s vision; to become an internationally competitive European city at the heart of a prosperous region where everyone can enjoy a high quality of life.

To achieve this we need to transform learning across the city, ensuring every child and young person can enjoy brilliant learning that gives them the skills, confidence, knowledge, understanding and skills to thrive and achieve their potential.

Leeds BSF is creating pioneering, brilliant learning places. They are good, improving and inclusive schools where every child and young person can be happy, healthy, safe, successful.

Leeds BSF will transform secondary learning in Leeds, creating 21st century learning spaces which can meet the teaching and learning needs of this and future generations.

This is reflected in both the design of the buildings and the way our colleagues, children and young people in schools interact within and use those spaces.

The transformation is being achieved through:

• Focusing on learning not teaching

• Developing fearless, lifelong learners and challenging young people to take responsibility for their learning

• Enabling teachers to become coaches, consultants and learning leaders

• The powerful and imaginative use of ICT

• Developing new ways of engaging children, young people, parents, carers and local communities

• Placing schools at the heart of their communities, developing integrated multi-agency partnerships to work with learners and their families
