About these LEAs

Local authorities which are a part of local councils vary in size, from small authorities with 50 schools to very large authorities with over 500 schools. Over the years local authorities roles in education have changed quite dramatically. In the past the Local Authority was very much in charge of many decisions that have now been devolved down to school level.

The Local authorities are still responsible for promoting high standards of education. They do this in part, by helping to manage schemes such as the national numeracy & literacy strategies.
