Agenda item

To receive the update of the Strategic Education & Skills Director

The Board heard an update on Equity Diversity & Inclusion at Christ’s Hospital School, noting in particular its support for children from under-resourced backgrounds noting that 678 children (of about 900 in total) are on means-tested bursaries, and that the school has an extensive community and outreach programme.

The Board congratulated Christ’s Hospital on their commitment and dedication to EDI.

A Member suggested there might be a role within the Corporation to ensure consistency across the City’s schools and organisations, noting that a need for renewed focus on EDI would be beneficial across the Corporation.
