Report of the Town Clerk.

 The Board received a report of the Town Clerk regarding Governor appointments to The City Academy, Hackney, City of London Academy Southwark and Prior Weston Primary School.

The report provided the supporting statements of two external candidates for governor vacancies at the City of London Academy Southwark, as well as details regarding the appointment of Nigel Challis CC to The City Academy, Hackney.

The Board were asked to delegate authority to the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to find and recommend a candidate for the vacancy of an external governor to The City Academy, Hackney.  The Board were also asked to delegate authority to find and recommend a candidate for the Member vacancy to the Board of Governors for Prior Weston Primary School. The recommendations would go to the Court of Common Council for appointment in September.

Members were informed by the Policy Officer that the supporting statement from Lucas Green for the appointment to the City of London Academy Southwark had been withdrawn. The Board were therefore asked to endorse only Simon Atkinson’s candidacy to the Court of Common Council.

RESOLVED – That the Board:

·        Endorse the proposed arrangement whereby the five City of London Corporation Governors at The City Academy, Hackney be composed of at least one member of the Court of Common Council, and any four additional members.

·        Recommend that the Court of Common Council approve the appointment of Nigel Challis CC as a Governor at The City Academy, Hackney.

·        Grant delegated authority to the Town Clerk in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman to submit a candidate for the fifth governor vacancy at The City Academy, Hackney to the Court of Common Council.

·        Recommend that the Court of Common Council appoint Simon Atkinson as a Governor of the City of London Academy Southwark.

·        Grant delegated authority to the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to submit a candidate for the governor vacancy at Prior Weston Primary School to the Court of Common Council for appointment.
