Details
The delivery plans for the 12 opportunity areas outline how we plan to build young people’s knowledge and skills and provide them with the best advice and opportunities.
The selection methodology explains how we decided which areas would be classified as ‘opportunity areas’.
The selection data spreadsheet presents the data which we originally considered when identifying the areas in greatest need.
The 12 opportunity areas are:
- West Somerset
- Norwich
- Blackpool
- North Yorkshire coast
- Derby
- Oldham
- Bradford
- Doncaster
- Fenland and East Cambridgeshire
- Hastings
- Ipswich
- Stoke-on-Trent
We announced the first 6 opportunity areas in October 2016 and the second 6 in January 2017.
Unlocking Talent, Fulfilling Potential
Opportunity areas are part of the government’s national plan for dealing with social mobility through education. The plan – Unlocking Talent, Fulfilling Potential – is a policy paper which sets out how we will remove obstacles that could stop people from achieving their potential.
