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

The Board considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services presenting the Education Workstream Action Plan developed by the Tackling Racism Taskforce and the following points were made:

·         The Tackling Racism Taskforce had been established in June 2020 to consider how the City of London Corporation worked to tackle racism in all its forms and assess whether further action could be undertaken to promote economic, educational and social inclusion through the Corporation’s activities.  The Education Workstream Action Plan had been developed as a result of this work and in consultation with key stakeholders, and outlined a range of actions intended to ensure that safe, inclusive, supportive, and empowering education was provided to all, regardless of the age, background or circumstance.

·         The Headmistress welcomed the Education Workstream Action Plan which reflected and reinforced the work being undertaken by the City of London School for Girls and City of London School which had commissioned a joint Race Equality Review in Autumn 2020.

RESOLVED – That:

·         The Education Workstream Action Plan be noted; and,

·         Updates on the delivery of the Education Workstream Action Plan be reported to future meetings of the Boards of Governors of the City of London Independent Schools.
