Learning

In North Somerset we have a wide view of what learning is and how it contributes to our communities.

After much consultation, we have a vision, strategy (pdf) and direction for learning, underpinned by detailed delivery plans which aim for excellence.

We have tried to create pages which demonstrate our pride in our achievements and are easily navigable.

We welcome your comments on them.  Happy Surfing !
