About

The Schools Forum advises on how funding is distributed to local schools and supports the Local Authority with school budget matters. It is made up of representatives from local schools, including academies, maintained schools, and early education providers, who voice the views of these institutions. The forum's role is consultative, meaning it provides advice and recommendations rather than making final decisions.
