Agenda item

Report of the Headmistress of the City of London School for Girls.

The Board considered the report of the Headmistress which provided updates on forthcoming events, COVID-19 and community and partnerships and the following points were made:

• A number of events had been scheduled for the Summer and Autumn 2021 terms, of which an increasing number would be held in-person as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted.  Governors were encouraged to attend events where possible and the Headmistress thanked Governors who would be attending the upcoming Leavers’ ceremonies.

• Community and partnership work continued to be a key focus of the School with the majority of Year 11 pupils engaged in some form of community work during the Summer 2021 term, including involvement in mentoring programmes across the City of London Corporation’s family of schools.

• Structural changes were being made to the School’s approach to higher education to reflect the increasing number of students applying to American universities or making a dual application to American universities and Oxbridge.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
