EDUCATION BOARD

Appointments to the City of London Academies Trust

Due to a potential conflict of interest, the current Chairman of the Education Board had not taken up the role of Company Member and Trustee of the City of London Academies Trust. However, it had not been possible to make an appointment in the room of the Education Board Chairman as the January 2016 resolution of the Court was explicit that the Education Board Chairman should perform both of these roles. Therefore, it was recommended that the January 2016 resolution should be adjusted to permit a representative to be appointed to those roles in the room of any Member who is not able to serve.

Resolved – That the January 2016 resolution of the Court of Common Council be amended to permit a representative/nominee of the Chairman/Deputy Chairman of the Policy Committee and the Education Board to serve as Company Member/Trustee of the City of London Academies Trust, where the original candidate is not able to serve.
