Robin Crofts reported that Cambridge Education was in the third and final year of the contract.
He said that Cambridge is strengthening and integrating business support areas from October.
He also reported on attainment. Early Years Foundation stage is up by 8% which is significant progress; there were improvements in phonics at Key Stage 1; a slight dip at Key Stage 2; a slight dip in GCSEs and substantial success at A Level. Attendance figures are improving but persistent absence was slightly up. Exclusions are still low and compare well with other LAs.
