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.
