Report of the Principal of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Members received a report of the Principal of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (GSMD) regarding scholarships awarded for 2018/19.

In addition to the scholarships awarded from the grant issued by the Education Board to GSMD, Members heard that GSMD were working with schools within the borough of Islington, particularly with City of London Academy Highbury Grove. GSMD were also playing a part in the Guildhall Young Artist programme, involving other schools within the City of London Academies Trust.

In response to a question about the impact of BREXIT, Members heard that there had been a decline in the number of applications from EU students countered by increased efforts in recruitment from other parts of the world. On leaving the EU, GSMD would also need to look at the fee variance for EU students and those from other countries.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
