here are few things more important than education. Being taught how to read write and do sums how to think how to analyse and how to interact with others can be the difference between somebody finding their place in society or feeling disconnected from the world. Whether it is a first time parent fretting over what school they should or even can enrol their child into or an adult who finally decides to change their life by learning something new beginning that journey of education can be daunting. Although 2012 saw a dip in the number of University entrants 2013 and 2014 both saw record numbers of successful applicants become undergraduates. Considering the sharp rise in tuition fees over the last few years this could be an indication of a number of things. Are schools performing better Are students aiming higher Or are we as a nation just taking our education more seriously Perhaps it is a mixture of all three but whatever the reason the thought of being left behind without an education to be proud of is a scary one so choosing the right school is one of the more important decisions one usually has to make. In this our first autumn guide to the best local schools and educational establishments you can find out about a school whose headteacher was awarded an OBE for services to education a school who specialise in teaching children with dyslexia and learning difficulties a place that fosters creativity in adults a school who have served the community for over three-hundred years and more.
