Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Board received the report of the Director of Children’s and Community Services updating Members on recent events and activities delivered across the three strategies overseen by the Education Board: Education, Cultural and Creative Learning, and Skills, and noted the calendar of meetings, forums, and events for the 2022-23 academic year.

The Board viewed images of previous events, including Wren 300 workshops and a recent chess tournament.

A Member commented that there was merit in arranging an event targeted at school-leavers across the CoL family of schools. The Board expressed strong support for the idea, and the Education Strategy Unit resolved to examine the logistics of running an event in 2023 or 2024. The meeting heard that no budget had been set for such an event for 2023 and that the calendar was already crowded, but resolved to build in such an event for the 2024 leavers.
