Improving local education outcomes

The challenge for local authorities and schools is to gain a better understanding of children and young people. Without detailed knowledge of the education demographics of the pupils, it is impossible to know the right approach to ensure that every child achieves their full potential.

EducationACORN enables all those involved in education to gain a better understanding of children, parents and carers and is the first classification to focus on the education sector.

The description of an area according to the 27 Education ACORN types gives education practitioners a 'pen portrait' of their local communities.
