Decisions for issue BME Achievement

1)           That the Committee note the report and endorse the focus across the city on improving outcomes for the particular BME groups highlighted in the report.

This report demonstrates that having multiple characteristics (BME and Free School Meal (FSM)) can lead to some groups being at even greater disadvantage and thus at risk of underachievement.

3)           That the Committee agree the next steps as outlined in section 6.
