For Members to scrutinise the 2015 education outcome data and provide comment on how the Council (and Members as governors) can influence schools on their future approach to improving performance

The Executive Member for Education and Skills introduced a report that outlined an overview and analysis of the 2015 education outcome data.  The validated KS4 data had been received and the Council had improved its position for this key stage.  Schools were to be congratulated on this achievement.

A Member raised a concern that there did not appear to be a Governor representative on the Partnership Vision for Education Board. The Director advised that two Governors had been appointed, both of whom are national leaders of governance.  A joint meeting with Head Teachers and the Governor Forum would be arranged to discuss the results and a School Improvement Peer Review would take place in March to examine the processes followed by the Council.

Progress on the Partnership Vision and work streams would be considered at the next meeting of the Committee.

Noted the report.
