Agenda item

The Headmaster of the City of London Freemen’s (CLFS) introduced his report, the following matters were raised:

·         Located outside the City, CLFS worked in partnership not only with the Family of Schools, but also with those within its local area.

·         The Head had initiated the Achievement for All, Counterpoint Programme. As part of this piece of work he had tasked himself to measure, across two years, the short- and long-term impact of the programme on vulnerable pupils of both the state schools and independent schools involved.

·         The School now had a 35 hour per week Community & Partnership post; they had moved away from using the term “outreach”.

·         Conversations were taking place in respect holding the successful residential Easter revision course for students of three of the City’s academies again. This course not only helped academically, but exposed pupils to the university-like boarding environment that CLFS is uniquely able to offer within the City’s Family of Schools.

·         The School had commenced conversations to organise an event with the Royal College of Surgeons for students in the City’s Family of Schools who were looking toward careers in medicine.
