Agenda item

Education Services Company Feasibility Study

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Minutes:

Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding the Education Services Company Feasibility Study.

 

It was noted that a decision from the Board was being sought on this item.

 

Whilst the agenda on Fusion Skills was deemed right, the Board was very supportive of the recommendation to not support the establishment of the Education Services Company. Members commented on the existence of a number of relevant and good enterprises on the City’s doorstep that could be used. It was suggested that this might be something that would benefit from a pan-Livery initiative, to be considered by the Livery Committee.

 

A number of Livery Committee Members were on the Education Board and agreed to take this matter up with their colleagues after the meeting.

 

RESOLVED, that

 

·         The City does not invest resources in the creation of an Education Services Company;

 

·         The City prioritise the consolidation of relationships and practices within its existing family of Schools; and

 

·         Endorse the recommendations a)-d) in the report.
