Kent County Council (KCC) has a strong commitment to supporting all schools, colleges, alternative providers and settings to improve and to securing the best educational outcomes for all children and young people. As the champion of families, children and young people our priorities are to ensure all young people receive a good or better education; secure and support the highest quality school leadership and governance; promote the best educational practice; and broker the influence of the best schools, colleges, alternative providers and settings by facilitating strong collaborations between stakeholders.
