Minutes:
Robin Crofts reported that there are 8 months left of the CE contract. It is currently ‘business as usual’ including a priority focus on Children’s Centres, early years and vulnerable groups. They are also preparing for an inspection of LA school improvement. In primary, KS2 is an issue and the aim is to get all maintained primary schools to good or better (currently 77% against national average of 85%).
They are starting to engage with the LA and the Trust regarding transfer of services over to the Trust or elsewhere. Children’s Centres and SEN support, advice and training are likely to transfer to the Trust but this has not yet been finalised.
