This section explains education and support in Leeds for:
- children under 5 years old who need extra support
- children and young people aged 5 to 19 who attend specialist support schools
- young people who continue learning after age 16 or 19
Leeds aims high for all children and young people. The city wants to be a friendly and welcoming place where children can grow up safely and happily.
Children’s Services want every child and young person to do well in learning and gain skills they will need for life. They believe children learn best in places where they feel safe, confident, and supported.
Most children learn in everyday settings, such as nurseries, schools, or colleges. When needed, children and young people can also get specialist education and support to help them achieve their best.
