Agenda item

Report of the Headmistress of the City of London School for Girls.

The Board considered the report of the Headmistress which provided an update on the Strategic Review and UCAS and careers preparation.  The report also gave details of the work of the East London Consortium.

Strategic Review

Work was being undertaken with staff and pupils to explore the School’s core values and this would be supported by the findings of the RS Academics School Pulse survey.  The School was working with small groups of staff on plans for partnership working and students would be asked to contribute to the Strategic Review process.

East London Consortium

Schools within the East London Consortium were working together to share best practice on coaching, including work shadowing opportunities.  The School would be offering access to selected lessons at the School for identified highly able students from other schools.

London Bridge Incident

The School had not been directly affected by the recent terrorist incident at London Bridge, but the incident would be talked about at a forthcoming assembly.  The Chairman observed that the City of London Police had offered to provide support to the School if needed and would liaise with the Headmistress about this following the meeting.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
