WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL Senior Education Officer – Policy, Performance and Resources Committee: Educational Services Committee 17 September 2025 Subject:Education Delivery Plan 2024/25 - Year-end Progress 1 Purpose 1.1 This report sets out the year-end progress of the 2024/25 Delivery Plan. 2 Recommendations 2.1 It is recommended that Committee notes the progress achieved at year-end. 3 Background 3.1 In line with the Strategic Planning & Performance Framework, each Chief Officer develops an annual Delivery Plan which sets out actions to help deliver the Strategic Plan and address the performance challenges and service priorities identified in the planning process. The Plan also provides an overview of services and resources, including employees and budgets, sets out the performance indicators (PIs) for monitoring progress and considers the relevant risks. 3.2 In the last few months of 2024/25, several services and teams across the Council were realigned to other Chief Officer areas. For consistency and transparency, the year-end progress reports reflect the content of the 2024/25 delivery plans reported to the relevant committees at the beginning of that year, with none of the organisational changes that took place in-year included. For Education, this means that a Leisure Trust PI is reported in this year-end report but not in the 2025/26 Education Delivery Plan or thereafter. Those changes are, however, reflected in the new delivery plans for 2025/26. 4 Main Issues 4.1 The 2024/25 Delivery Plan was presented to Educational Services Committee on 12 June 2024 and mid-year progress reported on 19 March 2025, based on the academic year. 4.2 Full details of year-end progress are set out in Appendix 1. 4.3 The progress of the Plan’s 9 actions is summarised below: Progress No. (%) ITEM 12

It is essential that remedial action is taken to ensure strategic delivery plans achieve the commitments detailed. 8 Equalities Impact Assessment 8.1 Screening and impact assessments will be carried out on specific activities as required. 9 Consultation
