45.1    The Committee considered the report of the Executive Director of Children’s Services regarding the review of Post 16 provision in the Sussex Coast Area. The report was presented by Hilary and Rachel.

45.2    Councillor Phillips referred to paragraph 3.3 of the report which stated that the Council wanted ‘variety, choice and value for money’, and suggested that variety and value for money were two different things. Rachel said that curriculums varied across the city and the provision needed to be able to meet the needs of all.  

45.3    The Chair confirmed that a further report on this area would come to a future meeting of the Committee.

45.4    RESOLVED: That the Committee noted the arrangements for the Sussex Coast review and agreed to the proposed methodology for the post 16 school based provision across Brighton and Hove.
