We've improved child literacy rates by 12%

Southwark has not always been the best place to grow up. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Council, and our partners, the future is now looking brighter for many children and young people in the borough.

Our progress is demonstrated by factors like the rise in child literacy across Key Stages 2 to 4 and the proportion of looked after young people achieving five or more grade A* to C GCSEs. We’re very proud of the fact that 40 young people who were looked after by the borough are currently attending university.
