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

The Board considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services setting out a process with which academy expansion opportunities would be considered and prioritised.   The Chairman noted that this process would need more consideration when the wider questions of academy governance, and the revision of the education strategy, were considered, but that some basis for considering requests was needed immediately.

RESOLVED, that

·         The proposed prioritisation process for the City of London Corporation to assess requests to act as an academy sponsor be adopted as an interim measure pending the expected review of strategic priorities for the ensuing year.
