The City of London Corporation's DRAFT Sport and Physical Activity Strategy for 2020-25

Report of the Head of Corporate Strategy and Performance.

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Head of Corporate Strategy and Performance regarding the City of London Corporation’s draft Sport and Physical Activity Strategy for 2020-2025.

 

Members expressed a number of concerns:

·         The document does not have a clear scope and purpose. Also, while it occasionally mentions schools, buildings, students and pupils, it does not make any connections between sport and physical activity and learning.

·         Role, if any, of the Education Board was unclear in the development and oversight of the strategy coupled with no clarity on lead committee and departments. Members were supportive of the idea of a Working Group but requested reporting clarity.

 

Members agreed that the strategy should not prevent the work of the Education Board relating to delivery of Sport and Physical Activity but felt it important to ensure that such strategy is aligned with the Education Board’s three core objectives.

 

Members recommended that the Corporate Strategy and Performance Team consult directly with the Education Unit to discuss how education and learning may be better represented within the Strategy.

 

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
