Report of the Town Clerk.

Members received a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services regarding an update on Governor Appointments and a report of the Town Clerk regarding a Governor Appointment that was ratified under urgency procedures.

The Clerk began by offering a clarification that the appointment of the Chair of the City Academy Hackney was ratified by the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chair and Deputy Chair, rather than approved by them as it stated in the report at Item 10.

The Board noted that all appointments were now up to date and officers thanked the Clerks of the relevant Local Governing Bodies for providing prompt updates.

A Member informed the Board that, contrary to the report, Jonny McIntosh was an elected Parent Governor at the City of London Academy, Shoreditch Park.

A Member of the Board, also Chair of City of London Primary Academy Islington, informed the Board that the school had recently been awarded the honour of ‘Governing Board of the Year’ at the Islington Education Awards 2021. The Chair, on behalf of the Board, congratulated the Governing Body on this achievement.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
