Championing Young People’s Learning

Our Mission

Our Role

The YPLA will champion young people by providing financial support to young learners, by funding Academies for all their provision and by supporting local authorities’ commissioning of

suitable education and training opportunities for all 16-19 year olds.

Our Vision

We make a difference to all young people’s lives by raising their

aspirations and helping them get the knowledge and skills they

need to prosper in the economy.

We narrow the gaps in outcomes for different groups and

recognise, value and celebrate the diversity that young people

bring to society.

We work with partners to secure seamless learning pathways

from pre-16 through to post-19 and in particular we improve

progression for learners with learning difficulties and disabilities

up to age 25.

Our Vision

We work in partnership to build the performance and reputation

of schools, colleges and all learning providers.

We provide a high quality funding and strategic analysis service

to our partners.

We are well-led and managed, our own people thrive in an

empowering organisation and we demonstrate continuous

improvement.

Our Values -we will be:Professional - offering expertise to influence the thinking of our

partners through timely intelligence about young people, transparent

funding systems and empowering knowledge about what is working around

the country

Responsive - listening to young people and to our partners so that we

can support them effectively

Impartial - focused on what is right for all young people and celebrating

the contribution of providers of all kinds to providing a good choice of high

quality learning opportunities and learning environments

Our Values -we will be:Dynamic - passionate and committed to making the system work in the

best interests of young people by forging excellent relationships and

continually challenging ourselves to improve

Efficient - a slimline organisation aiming to simplify and streamline

funding and commissioning so that we get as much resource as possible to

the front line
