Why 14-19 partnerships?
Oxfordshire 14-19 Strategy Developing Young
People

• We want institutions in each locality to work
  together to decide how best to deliver the 14-19
  offer, with each institution able to play to its
  strengths.
• We want the system to be driven bottom-up by
  partnerships of schools, colleges and other
  providers who together decide how they are best
  placed to make a comprehensive offer to young
  people. But there is also an important role for
  local authorities and local LSCs to facilitate
  and enable this planning and to challenge
  partners if there are gaps in provision.
