Social Mobility Strategy 2018-28 - Annual Report

Report of the Director of City Bridge Trust and Chief Grants Officer.

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Director of City Bridge Trust and Chief Grants Officer regarding the City of London Corporation’s Social Mobility Strategy 2018-2028 annual report. The following matters were raised:

 

·         There was a view amongst Members that whilst the report delivered an excellent overview, some aspects of the City’s achievements were undersold, including the work delivered in the Family of Schools (including the academic achievement for pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium) and the commitment of the City to work-related learning and apprenticeships.

 

·         It was noted that the 2019 London Careers Festival (LCF) featured prominently in the Corporation’s delivery of this strategy. Itwas felt that identifying more opportunities for work experience through LCF 2020 and beyond was key to even greater success.

 

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
