Issue - meetings

As recommendation.

The Executive Member for Education introduced the report to seek approval of the action plan following the 2011 Estyn Inspection of Local Authority Education Services for Children and Young People (LAESCYP). 

 The Executive Member explained that the inspection had been undertaken in October 2011 and that the outcome in relation to ‘standards’ which described the Authority as ‘adequate’ was being discussed with Estyn.  The Director of Lifelong Learning highlighted paragraph 3.04 which reported the Estyn Inspection recommendations and explained that an action plan to address the recommendations following the inspection was due for submission to Estyn by 4 April 2012. 

The Director said that in his view, Flintshire had an education system that matched Estyn’s description of ‘good’ for standards.  He highlighted the figures detailed on page 587 of the report, detailing in particular the areas where Flintshire was best in Wales.             

RESOLVED:

That the post-inspection Action Plan be formally approved.
