Report of the Town Clerk.

NB: This report has been considered and is supported by the Education Board

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk concerning the inclusion of an educational float in the 2017 Lord Mayor’s Show.

The Chairman questioned the inclusion of the Christ’s Hospital and King Edward Schools and also whether all the academies would be invited and was advised that the intention was to include all the City Corporation’s direct family schools but not Christ’s Hospital and King Edward Schools. A Member also questioned whether the provision of £10,000 funding would be sufficient to cover the cost. It was suggested that the proposed funding be agreed and that should any additional resources be required for the educational float, its approval be delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

RESOLVED – That:-

1.    approval be given to an education float being entered into the 2017 Lord Mayor’s Show which included the City’s family of academy and independent schools, at a cost of £10,000 to be met from the 2017/18 Policy and Resources Committee’s contingency fund, and charged to City’s Cash; and

2.    should any additional funding be required, its approval be delegated to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.
