Agenda item

The Chairman to be heard.

The Chairman was heard regarding the appointment of a Company Member and Sponsor Trustee for the City of London Academies Trust in his stead, given he was unable to take up those roles given the conflict with his role on the Mossbourne Federation.

The Chairman referred Members to the note of the inquorate meeting of the Nominations Sub (Education Board) Committee held on 15 February 2018 at Item 23 at which a skills audit submitted by Deputy Clare James had been submitted for consideration. The Chairman noted that Deputy James was in his view a strong candidate for appointment given her experience as elected member of the City of London Corporation and experience of the City’s role in education, not least her role as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the City of London School for Girls.  

RESOLVED, that Deputy Clare James be appointed as Company Member and Sponsor Trustee of the City of London Academies Trust in the room of Henry Colthurst, for a term equivalent to Henry Colthurst’s service as Chairman of the Education Board.
