Outside body

Purpose:

An internal City of York Council body which provides a mechanism for members to monitor school performance in accordance with section 13A of the 1996 Education Act which requires local authorities to promote high standards, ensure fair access to opportunities for education and training, and fulfilment of potential through education and training in their area.

Meetings and reporting:

Meetings are scheduled on a half termly basis (six per year) and will have an identified focus (e.g. place planning, outcomes, and disadvantage).

Reports will be produced and circulated to members of the Group, identifying schools who have undergone an inspection since the previous report, highlighting school improvement activity, and updating on projects and working groups.

Members of the Group will be invited to school / education related meetings and events to ensure they have network and discussion opportunities with education leaders (headteachers / CEOs) and receive relevant updates and information.

The Executive Member for Children, Young People and Education is an automatic member and Chair of the group.
