  • Academies

    • Reference: 2010/0004
    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 13 January 2010
    Can you update me on your progress with the academies programme, and explain what provisions are being put in place to ensure a balanced intake of children compared to surrounding schools and especially a fair share of children with special educational needs?

  • LDA Funding for Academies

    • Reference: 2009/0112-1
    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2009
    The Mayor has promised LDA funding for 10 academies. Has the Board yet considered whether funding secondary education is compatible with focusing on the LDA's core mission around jobs and business?

  • LDA Priorities (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2009
    OK, a couple of quick questions first. Can I just clarify, any money that is left over at the end of the year, can you carry that forward or does that go back to the Government?

  • LDA Funding for Academies (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 18 March 2009
    OK, you are very keen on academies. I am completely neutral on the subject, but the figures just do not stack up to me. There are 43 academies in London, and we have got published results for 27 of them, because a lot of them are new and have not yet published. Over 50% of them have achieved less than half the national average at GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education). What I am not clear about is a lot of these are run by some serious players. I mean, we are not just talking fly-by-nights; we really are talking...

  • Priorities for the Coming Year (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    OK, and the final thing; I know I threw so many questions at you, but will the targeted offer be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

  • Priorities for the Coming Year (Supplementary) [6]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    My key concern is that it is not a scattergun approach that it goes to a lot of schemes but that it is targeted on very specific small schemes where it can actually do some good. Thank you.

  • London Youth Offer (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
    I have a couple of specific questions; maybe I will cover them all together. First of all, is it just going to be for two years and will you ensure that the additional money will go to those schemes, many of which are working very successfully, rather than try to reinvent the wheel with trying to identify other schemes? Will young people decide how the offer money is going to be spent, and can you confirm that the targeted offer will be distributed to small groups with multiple needs?

  • London Fashion Week (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    That is now up for renewal if it is the end of the three years so this is an ideal time for you to withhold grants.

  • London Fashion Week (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    And Madrid, yes.

  • London Fashion Week (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Per year, or over the three years?
