Leicester's learning
Aiming for a city of educational excellence
Leicester City Council and its partners are dedicated to making a real difference for pupils, parents, students, teachers, support staff and the community.
Schools and colleges in Leicester are continually improving. Putting education at the heart of our city will help improve opportunities for everyone and achieve our ambition to be the best city in the region and the UK.
With two major projects at the forefront of the city's improvement plans, education in Leicester is set to improve even more.
Leicester is also home to two internationally renowned universities - De Montfort University and the University of Leicester.
Building schools for the future (BSF)
Leicester is one of the first areas in the country to deliver the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
It's the city's largest schools building programme for over 50 years. The aim is to rebuild or renew every secondary school and work has begun on four schools: Beaumont Leys School, Judgemeadow Community College, Soar Valley College and Fullhurst Community College.
The new schools will offer the latest in technology and learning environments to inspire pupils, teachers and the local community.
Transforming Leicester's Learning
Transforming Leicester's Learning is Leicester City Council's plan to help improve the aspirations and achievements of our children and young people.
The plan focuses on developing and improving three key areas:
- Inclusion
- Access and Admissions
- School Improvements
Along with the Children's and Young People's Plan, Transforming Leicester's Learning will also help develop and support staff in Leicester's schools and colleges so they can help deliver high quality services to our younger people.
