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

Members considered an update report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding additional funding for City academies and the following points were made.

·         In response to question, the Education, Culture and Skills Director replied that the funding was for specific programmes and that a full evaluation of funding outcomes would be submitted to the Board in September 2018.

·         A Member expressed the hope that music programmes made available by the additional funding promoted progress in music, rather than simply taster sessions.
