Agenda item

Report of Christ’s Hospital.

The Committee received a report of Christ’s Hospital regarding the Impact Report.

The Partnership Manager of Christ’s Hospital introduced the item explaining that usually the purpose of the report would be to show the impact the school has had on the students throughout the year.  However, due to the pandemic this year was slightly different and would instead have a stronger focus on mental health and wellbeing and surveys of the students progress over a longer period.

The Chair commented on the fantastic work of Christ’s Hospital and asked if there were more opportunities for future partnerships.

The Partnership Manager replied that Christ’s Hospital were currently exploring options with the COLAT academy and other CoL Schools to help ease the transition from primary to secondary education.  Additionally, the Safeguarding leads at Christ’s Hospital were looking to open further lines of communication with other schools to assist those with difficult backgrounds prior to arrival.

The Deputy Chairman asked if the Annual Maths Challenge had gone ahead.

The Partnership Manager explained that the Maths Challenge had taken place virtually with 36 primary schools in attendance.  There was an abundance of positive feedback and they hope to hold it physically in Guildhall when possible.

Christ’s Hospital continue to work with charities such as the Richard Reeves Foundation, Diocese of London, John Lyon’s Charity, and primary school headteachers to help identify children in need across London.
