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

A report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services explaining that the Chairman at the City of London Academy, Islington (COLAI) requested that the City provide a suitable nomination to fill the current vacancy for a City of London sponsor governor on the governing Body of COLAI. It should be noted that the Chairmanship of the Governing Body for COLAI reverts to the City of London in the winter of 2016 and therefore the successful candidate may take on a leadership role.

The Appointment of Governors Report, which had been tabled at this meeting, proposed a process for appointing governors that suggests requesting relevant supporting information from the school. In this instance the Chairman of Governors had provided supporting information which was consistent with the information suggested in the Appointment of Governors Report.

RESOLVED – That Members authorise Officers to seek expressions of interest from Members for the vacant position as a City of London sponsor governor on the Governing Body of The City of London Academy Islington, using the supporting information provided in this report and the application form appended to the Appointment of Governors Report.
