•
Ranked 298
th
out of 324 districts in the 2016 Social Mobility Index.
•
There are high levels of child poverty, fuel poverty, poor housing conditions, poor
health outcomes and low levels of educational attainment.
•
In 2016, children in over half of all wards across the city failed to meet national
averages at all three stages of education.
•
The city consists of six towns, each with its own distinct character. It is suggested that
the polycentric nature of Stoke‑on‑Trent creates a split across the city in terms of both
affiliation to individual towns and services offered for children, young people and
parents.
The Stoke-on-Trent Opportunity Area Delivery Plan was launched March 2018 as part
of the 2
nd
tranche of Opportunity Areas.

Making sure children are happy,
resilient and equipped with the skills
to learn
By 2020/21 we will reduce
unauthorised absence rates by
half in primary school (to
150,000) and by two-thirds
secondary schools (to below
57,000) so that Stoke‑on‑Trent is
in the top half of all local
authority districts for pupils
regularly attending school.
By 2020/21 Stoke‑on‑Trent will
be in the top half of all local
authority districts for pupils
eligible for pupil premium
meeting the expected standard,
improving outcomes on this
measure for over 250 pupils.
Stoke‑on‑Trent will be in the top
half of all local authority districts
for pupils eligible for pupil
premium meeting the exceeding
the expected standard, improving
outcomes on this measure for
over 70 pupils.
By 2020/21 Stoke‑on‑Trent will
have significantly closed the gap
between children in the city
achieving a good level of
development and their peers
nationally.
This will mean that by 2021/22 at
least 100 more children will have
reached this level than was the
case in 2016.
By 2022/23, the city will have
closed the gap entirely and will
be in the top half of all local
authority districts for pupils
achieving a good level of
development.

Ensuring a pipeline of highly
qualified young people in Stoke-on-
Trent who can contribute to a skilled
workforce
By 2020/21:
Stoke‑on‑Trent will be in the top
half of all local authority districts
for the attainment of all pupils in
achieving maths and English at
level 2 post-16.
Raise retention rates for sixteen
to eighteen year olds to exceed
the national average. Based on
2016 data, this would mean an
additional 280 learners continue
in the education or training
course first selected.

Stoke-on-Trent Opportunity Area https://stokeontrentopportunityarea.co.uk/
Why a Stoke-on-Trent Opportunity Area? Ranked 298th out of 324 districts in the 2016 Social Mobility Index. There are high levels of child poverty, fuel poverty, poor housing conditions, poor health outcomes and low levels of educational attainment. In 2016, children in over half of all wards across the city failed to meet national averages at all three stages of education. The city consists of six towns, each with its own distinct character. It is suggested that the polycentric nature of Stoke-on-Trent creates a split across the city in terms of both affiliation to individual towns and services offered for children, young people and parents. The Stoke-on-Trent Opportunity Area Delivery Plan was launched March 2018 as part of the 2nd tranche of Opportunity Areas.

Where does this link to the current LEP Skills Strategy? CEC work Raising attainment in Eng, Ma & Science (the Hub model). Employer Primary school project Careers Guidance (LEP priority 2) Skills (LEP priority 3) Essential Life Skills (eg: STEAM projects etc) Work readiness projects: Learner Basic Skills; SEND internships; early years and college students P16 High Ability Students into degrees/degree apprenticeships Improving outcomes in Post 16 GCSE Eng & Ma
What does success look like? Better collaboration in the system (more partners working together, more purposefully, more permanently). Leave behind a legacy of commitment to improving social mobility via our interventions, of better use of data and evidence to inform policy locally and of greater join-up and coherence of interventions. Meet our targets. Improved academic outcomes in particular at primary. Help build a skilled workforce which will benefit the economic development of the city.
Whats next? Over the next few months finalising and initiating multiple projects linked to the delivery plan targets. Consider how to address wider determinants like parental engagement, building a quality education workforce and supporting emotional wellbeing and behaviour of pupils. See where gaps lay and use the remaining OA budget effectively. Sustainability / legacy. How can we further involve the LEP in the Opportunity Area can we do more collectively?
