To consider the above report

The Sub Committee considered the latest list of vacancies and candidates for LA representatives to Governing Bodies of Schools in the Royal Borough, as detailed in section 2.1 the report.

It was noted that, as requested at the last meeting, Ward Councillors had been contacted to highlight those longstanding vacancies. Members noted that for both Hilltop First School and Woodlands Park Primary expressions of interest had been received and therefore it was anticipated that the Sub Committee would have candidates for consideration for these schools at the next meeting.  Members suggested that an article be placed in the next edition of Around the Royal Borough to advertise the role and vacancies, and to highlight the web link for applicants. Members also asked officers to confirm whether or not vacancies were advertised with WAM get Involved.

i)             Dr Andrew Saunders be recommended for appointment to St. Edward's Royal Free Ecumenical Middle School
