Decision:
Members considered a report which outlined a bid in process to the DfES for funding under the Independent State School Partnership arrangements (ISSP).
It was noted that if the funding of £100,000 was won in the second stage of the bidding process, it would support collaborative working amongst staff from both maintained and independent secondary phase schools and provide master classes for KS4 and KS3 pupils from across the City, spanning pure and applied science to the scientific aspects of art and design.
Members were informed that the first stage bid had been successful and the second stage bid would be submitted early October. If successful, it would provide opportunities for students and their teachers from both private and maintained sectors, to work together in challenging and engaging contexts thus promoting social cohesion in the City.
