Members received a report which presented an update on progress within the city in taking forward the 14–19 Curriculum Reforms, including increasing the range of provision available and raising the participation rates and attainment of young people.  It also updated them on developments at Archbishop Holgate’s School, as a result of the school’s “presumption” to develop post-16 provision.
