Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

NB: This report will also be considered by the Grand Committee later this day.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Chairman of the City of London’s Learning and Engagement Forum seeking funding to progress the establishment of a cultural education partnership.

The Chairman of the Learning and Engagement Forum was heard in support of the project. The Chairman of the Sub-Committee reminded Members that the development of the partnership was one of the work streams of the City Corporation’s Education Strategy. She advised that a more detailed business case would be considered by the Education Board and that it should be noted that as activities progressed, more funding might be needed.

RESOLVED – that it be recommended to the Grand Committee that £150,000 be provided to implement the City Corporation’s Culture Mile Learning initiative, subject to approval of a more detailed business case by the Education Board.
