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

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding an update on Governor Appointments.

It was highlighted that a number of parent and staff vacancies remained across CoLAT and for this reason Members were being asked to approve a note to be sent to CoLAT Board recommending progression of these, to avoid risk to the quality of governance.

RESOLVED, that:-

• The decisions taken by the City of London Academies Trust (CoLAT) Board of Trustees in relation to CoLAT Local Governing Bodies (LGBs) at their meeting on 19 March 2021 be noted;
• In line with its role as Sponsor, the Education Board recommend that the CoLAT Board of Trustees address longstanding parent and staff vacancies on LGBs to ensure robust governance of CoLAT schools.
