Teachers and Education Staff
Bedfordshire's Mission Statement makes a commitment 'to enable
all individuals and communities in Bedfordshire to reach their full
potential.' High calibre teachers are crucial to this
process.
The Local Authority maintains 221 schools and 4 pupil referral
units and over 3500 teachers are employed. The three -tier system
of school organisation (i.e. Lower, Middle and Upper) is well
established with the 9-13 Middle school being sought by many
teachers who want experience of the primary/secondary
interface.
The Strategy is reviewed annually to ensure that priorities reflect
current concerns.
