  • All schools including special schools
  • Education support centres
  • FE colleges
  • Work-based learning and independent alternative providers

The team works closely with DfE departments, national, regional and local government agencies and awarding organisations to keep abreast of government changes and inform policy and practice. In Hertfordshire, the 14-19 team specialise in facilitating the work of partner organisations to build progression pathways for young people in this phase of learning, maximising all available resources,
including funding.
