people in education and training by working collaboratively to:

own the need for raised local participation, retention and achievement.

young people have access to prospectuses, talks etc that cover
the full range of options including schools, FE and work based
learning.

smooth progression routes for learners at transition points by
working together to identify and address impediments to success.
(E.g. By taking account of syllabus or teaching style discontinuities.)

choice of courses that is both wide and as responsive as practicable
to the needs of learners and employers.

provision of subjects so as to avoid inappropriate duplication
and maximize the survival of minority subjects
