Working together to provide the best education for every child and young person in Oxfordshire
Purpose
The OSSP is a forum where organisations who play a significant role in publicly funded education in Oxfordshire meet with the aim of addressing Oxfordshire’s key educational priorities that go beyond the responsibilities or influence of any one organisation. With respect to these identified priorities, the representatives of those organisations meet to:
- Share information
- Identify opportunities for collaboration
- Minimise duplication
- Provide challenge and support
Principles
The OSSP is a partnership of equals, with partner representatives being responsible for representing the work and views of their organisations and for making appropriate contributions to the strategic improvement of education in Oxfordshire.
- Our work focuses on inclusive practice, the effective education of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children and young people, to improve education for all
- We will observe complete confidentiality when matters are deemed to be confidential
- Partners will agree strategic priorities, to which everyone will make a commitment
Area of Focus
