Issue - meetings

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the meeting of the Children, Young People and Learning Overview and Scrutiny Panel held on 8 June 2016.  Individual fixed term exclusion trend data for each Bracknell Forest secondary school requested at the last Panel meeting is appended to the minutes.

The minutes of the 8 June 2016 meeting of the Panel were approved as a correct record, and signed by the Chairman, save for it had not been recorded that Miss Richardson had sent apologies and Mr Briscoe had been in attendance.

Matters Arising

The number of secondary fixed term exclusions had been expressed as a percentage of school population in the minutes and the Chairman requested the actual numbers were circulated to Members.

The Chairman requested that data for the last three years of primary school fixed term exclusions was circulated to Members in order to note whether there had been an increase in numbers.  Ian Dixon agreed to circulate numbers and explained that percentages had been used to enable like for like comparison and to align with DfE data releases.
