Decision details

The Commission received the Chief Executive’s Corporate Performance Overview Report for the first quarter, April to June, 2012/13.

Arising from Members’ questions and comments, the following points were noted:

• The increase in the number of children with protection plans was a concern and reflected the increased priority given by the Council.
• The names of the two schools which had full Ofsted Inspections during this period would be supplied to Members.
• The changes to IT systems to implement the national benefit changes could not be made until the consultation had ended. As the scheme came into effect on 1 April 2013, this represented a significant risk.
• Each school conversion to an academy had financial implications for the Council. Nevertheless the Council supported schools’ choice over the academy programme.
