Conversion of the City's Three PFI Schools to Academy Status

To consider the report of the CYP Strategic Commissioning, Education and Inclusion Manager, outlining the potential risks to the Council that could arise as a result of the city’s three PFI Schools (Cantell, Redbridge and Woodlands) converting to academy status.   In particular, the financial cost that the Council could incur if one of the schools/academies breached the PFI contract, resulting in compensation having to be paid to the PFI provider, which has been assessed as low risk.
