Haringey's New Education Strategy 2025-2028

Haringey’s new education strategy for 2025 to 2028 sets out a bold and inclusive vision to ensure every child and young person in the borough thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.

Developed in partnership with educators, families, and community stakeholders, the strategy applies to all children aged 0 to 19 and aims to create a more fair and high-performing education system.

It focuses on key priorities such as improving success, supporting transitions between educational stages, expanding pathways to success, and promoting wellbeing across all settings.

By embedding inclusion at its core, Haringey seeks to reduce exclusions, enhance support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and strengthen collaboration between schools and external agencies.

The strategy also aims to raise awareness and engagement, ensuring that families and professionals are informed and empowered to contribute to its success.
