The
Schools Forum takes decisions on a range of issues relating to the
funding of schools. It has 21
members. They are headteachers,
governors and non-school representatives. School members and academy members make up at
least two-thirds of the membership of the forum.
Meetings of the Schools Forum are open to the public, except for
any confidential matters that will be discussed within a closed
meeting. The Chair will decide if any
item is confidential.
Meetings of the Schools Forum are held both as
‘Remote’ (virtual) Meetings, through Microsoft Teams
and face to face at the council offices.
Meetings usually start at 2pm and are public
meetings. When a meeting is held
virtually it can be listened to/observed through a ‘live
link’ to the meeting available on our website. If you wish to put a question to the Schools
Forum, please contact the Secretary to the Schools Forum on 01724
296433 or 297000.
