The joint initiative between local schools and Camden Council will explore how the borough can make the most of the government drive to increase school autonomy.
Former Ofsted chief inspector Sir Mike Tomlinson CBE is earmarked to chair the commission. The commission’s panel will also include Professor Geoff Whitty, a former director of the Institute of Education, and Geethika Jayatilaka, who used to be Camden’s lead member for children.
The commission is expected to last for six months initially, during which time it will gather evidence from local employers, parents, children and young people in Camden.
