Issue - meetings

(Report of the Director of the Children & Young People’s Service)  To provide an update on progress on the recommendations arising from the Overview & Scrutiny review of extended services in 2007.

The Committee received a report that provided an update on progress in relation to the recommendations arising from the Overview and Scrutiny review of Extended Services in 2007.

The Committee discussed progress against the recommendation that partnership arrangements should be developed between Highgate and Channing Schools. It was noted that two pupils from schools in the west of the Borough had taken part in the Oxbridge Tuition sessions.

There was a general consensus that potential candidates attending schools in the east of the Borough should be encouraged to participate in the Oxbridge Tuition sessions.  There was agreement that the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People would raise this issue in her capacity as a Governor of Haringey Sixth Form Centre and underline the support available for young people in the Borough applying for Oxbridge Universities.

RESOLVED:

1. That progress made in relation to each recommendations be noted.

2. That the Cabinet Member for Children and Young People should highlight the support available for young people in the Borough applying for Oxbridge places at the next Governors meeting of Haringey Sixth Form Centre.
