To consider the report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services

The Board considered the report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services updating Members on key information relating to the first round of City Premium Grant (CPG) applications for the 2024/25 academic year.

The Board noted that applications for 106 projects have been received and reviewed. Of these projects 90 were deemed successful, and these projects collectively request £1,503,279 of funding representing 68% of the City Premium Grant funding available to the Family of Schools for the 2024/25 academic year.

Members noted the administration process for the CPG and an overview of all proposed projects in the two appendices.

The executive agreed to circulate the CPG allocation criteria for the benefit of new Members (see action 5).

RESOLVED, That the Board delegate authority to the Chair and the Strategic Education and Skills Director to distribute awards from the City Premium Grant to fund successful bids.
