Post-16 education. While planning for schools is mainly undertaken elsewhere, there does seem to be an important gap which the Local Plan could address. This is the provision for post-16 education (A-levels). There is no provision in the south of Rutland, in spite of it having the excellent Casterton College Rutland school. This is astonishing! It impacts on the quality of life as many children have to travel elsewhere (Bourne, Oakham, Peterborough). This is relevant to Rutland's Vison (as set out in Chapter 3, page 14), and to the Infrastructure Priorities (see page 258) where it is relevant to Priorities 2 (Sustainable Lives) and 4 (A county for everyone).
