Minutes:
Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding the City of London Academies Trust (CoLAT) development programme.
Building works at the City of London Primary Academy Islington (COLPAI) were due for completion in December 2020. Temporary accommodation had been found, renovations agreed, and transport procured for the autumn term.
The Chairman believed the significant issues and delays experienced with the COLPAI project warranted a case study led by the Projects Sub-Committee, to commence on the project’s completion. This proposal was supported by other Members of the Board, including the Chairman of the Projects Sub-Committee.
A Members raised concerns about the welfare of the staff at COLPAI. The Board heard that governors of the school were doing what they could to be supportive during this period.
RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
