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

Members noted a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services regarding the Educational, Cultural and Creative Learning and Skills Update.

A City Schools Conference celebrating 150 years of State Education in England (partnered with the Foundation for Educational Development) had taken place in the Livery Hall, Guildhall, in November 2021, with very positive feedback received, although sadly the City Schools Concert had been cancelled due to COVID concerns. Discussions had taken place which included future plans, developing frameworks, equality and inclusion and ‘sustaining excellent education’, followed by an opportunity to network informally. A Chess Tournament was scheduled to take place on 23February 2022.

The Chair noted that a Social Mobility Breakfast Briefing (organised by the Education Unit and CoLAT) would take place on Friday 13 May at 08:30am. All Members were encouraged to sign up to attend.

RESOLVED, that:

the report be noted.
