• There is a wide range of opportunities for our children and young people to give them flexibility and choice in both academic and skills areas to suit their individual aspirations for the future
• The opportunities available will appeal to all, and that they provide young people with the skills to enter the world of work and support our communities to be vibrant and productive

They would like to know what you think is important to include in their plans for future of education and skills development in Buckinghamshire.
