Together we have developed a set of documents that say what we expect to be available for everyone who attends an educational setting in Somerset. These documents are called the Core Standards. We have worked with Nurseries and pre-schools Schools Colleges Support services for educational settings Parents Young people The Core Standards were designed to make sure that all educational settings understand and comply with updated legislation. They make it clear ‘what to expect’ in terms of what is provided, and are written for parents, children and young people, school staff and those who provide services to families.
