Schools forum

The Schools’ Forum is a decision making and consultative body dealing with schools’ budgets

The forum is required to meet at least four times a year.

The role of Schools’ Forum

The Schools’ Forum is made up of representatives from schools and academies, but with some representation from other non-school organisations, such as nursery and 14 to 19 education providers. The forum acts as a consultative body on some issues and a decision making body on others.

The forum acts in a consultative role for:

  • changes to the local funding formula (the local authority is responsible for the final decision but in some cases it may delegate the power to the Schools’ Forum)
  • proposed changes to the operation of the minimum funding guarantee
  • changes to or new contracts affecting schools (eg school meals)
  • arrangements for pupils with special educational needs, in pupil referral units and in early years provision.

The forum is responsible for decisions on:

  • how much funding may be centrally retained within the dedicated schools grant (eg for the Admissions Service, prudential borrowing costs, additional funding available for growing schools)
  • any proposed carry forward of deficits on central spend from one year to the next
  • proposals to de-delegate funding from maintained primary and secondary schools (e.g. for staff supply cover or insurance)
  • changes to the scheme of financial management
