Agenda item

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services (to follow).

Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services on the governance of the City Academies. The Chairman noted that, given the accountability of the City Corporation for the levels of performance in the City’s academies, it was important to consider establishing a strategic governance model of the academies that afforded the Board greater control. Members noted that an overarching Multi-academy Trust (MAT) model seemed to be the best solution in the longer term, but that any model adopted would need to take account of the City Corporation’s co-sponsors.

Members then resolved to exclude the public to discuss this item in the non-public section.
