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.
