Welcome to the Croydon Education Partnership Board Website

Who we are

We represent all the sectors meeting the needs of children and young people in Croydon (nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools, HE and FE)

What we do

We work together to improve outcomes for all children and young people in the borough by focusing on key priorities such as inclusion, wellbeing, literacy, and recruitment.

The Croydon Education Partnership was created as part of the Mayor's Plan; to improve collaboration and partnership working between Croydon Council and all education providers in the borough. An independent chair was appointed in October 2023. Terms of Reference and notes of meetings can be found here. Our overall aim is to improve outcomes for all children and young people, so that they will demonstrate greater pride at living in the Borough.
