Report of the Headmistress of the City of London School for Girls.

The Board considered a report of the Headmistress which requested approval for the purchase of a new Steinway Grand Piano and for the use of income from lettings and an anticipated donation from the Friends of the City of London School for Girls for this purchase.

The Board discussed the proposal and, while all Governors were broadly in favour of the proposal, agreed that further information should be provided regarding the direct financial benefit of purchasing the new piano.

RESOLVED – That the Board:

a)    Delegates to the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to agree the purchase of a new Steinway Grand Piano; and

b)    Delegates to the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to authorise the use £72,000 of profit from School lettings to pay the balance after a donation (in the region of £10,000) from the Friends of the City of London School for Girls is made
