(TAKE IN REPORT)
The report was introduced by Mike Stoneman, Deputy Director of Children's Services - Education.
In response to a question about how this group will differ from the former Schools Standards and Improvement Group, officers advised that the Education Advisory Board would look at educational standards across the whole city rather than on a school by school basis. It would also hold the LA to account rather than head teachers.
DECISION:
The Cabinet Member approved the terms of reference for the education advisory board as set out in appendix 1.
