Report of the Headmaster of the City of London School (copy attached).

The Board considered a report of the Headmaster seeking endorsement for him to become the Chairman of the Board of Governors at Bentworth Primary School in White City.

The Town Clerk stated that, although Governors had had information on this matter previously, this report sought to formalise their approval for the Headmaster taking up this position.

The Headmaster made it clear that this was a personal undertaking and had no link with the City of London School or the City of London Corporation. He clarified that there were therefore no reputational risks involved.

The Chairman stated that all comments received from Governors to date had been overwhelmingly positive and supportive of this move.

RESOLVED – That the Board of Governors:

·        Endorse the appointment of the Headmaster as Chairman of the Board of Governors of Bentworth Primary School; and

·        Support the inclusion of Bentworth Primary School in the City of London School outreach programme.
