The Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People presented a report from the Director of Children’s Services proposing the redesign of the Education Improvement Service.

RESOLVED:

i)     That sustaining the Education Improvement Service solely through grant funding from central government and de-delegated funds from Shropshire Council maintained schools be approved. 

ii)    That, as a result of the above, a traded Education Improvement Service professional training development programme be maintained through to April 2019, at which point the Council will cease to deliver this traded service to Shropshire schools.
