Central Bedfordshire Council, Luton Council and Bedford Borough Council have secured government support to develop a new fostering hub to help recruit, approve and support more foster carers across the area.
The majority of Central Bedfordshire families applying for a school place this year have received good news, with 9 in 10 children offered a place at their first preference primary school.
Children needing mainstream school support, families affected by domestic abuse, and young people in care will get renewed support under new Central Bedfordshire Council plans.
Our Jigsaw Service has been recognised, alongside two schools in the area, for its commitment to providing high-quality support and education to children with ADHD.
Applications are now open for children and young people who are due to start school, or transfer to middle, secondary or upper school in September 2024.
