Your child, your schools, our future: building a 21st century schools system - A guide for parents and carers

The proposals in the main White Paper are underpinned by the wish for every child to succeed. This document briefly summarises, for parents and carers, the 21st Century Schools White Paper.

It sets out plans to reform the school system by establishing a new Pupil Guarantee and Parent Guarantee for every parent. The guarantee to parents is that every child will go to a school that has high aspirations for them, so their children get the opportunity to do the best they possibly can. The Parent Guarantee will also make sure schools work with mothers, fathers and other carers as full partners in their child’s learning and development.
