The vision for a second City
Academy in Islington takes a significant step forward this
week with the launch of a public consultation.
Islington Council, the City of London and City University are
working together to benefit future generations of young people
through the proposed sponsorship and construction of a City Academy
to replace Islington Green School.
The consultation began on 17 May 2006 with the launch of a
consultation brochure (see link below) and planning leaflet
that is being distributed to all relevant stakeholders,
including pupils, parents, teachers, community groups and local
residents.
The consultation sets out the vision for the Academy and seeks
the community’s input on issues such as curriculum, admissions and
academy buildings.
City Academies are a new type of publicly funded independent
secondary school supported by one or more sponsors. The sponsors of
the proposed academy, the City of London and City University, will
jointly contribute £2 million to the development of the Academy.
Both sponsors have extensive experience in the provision of high
quality education.
The collaboration between Islington Council, the City of London
and City University will act as a catalyst to improve the
performance of Islington Green School, providing the pupils with
the very best chance of a successful future.
