Committee/Body details
Leicestershire Schools' Forum
Purpose of committee
Schools Forums were established under the Education Act 2002 to formally give schools a voice in the disbursement of funding for schools. The Members of the Forum represent the views of Headteachers and Governors across all school phases. The Forum has some decision making powers but also a significant consultative role in all aspects of the Schools Budget, including the budgets distributed to Schools and also the centrally retained schools budget which funds services such as student support, special educational needs and early learning and childcare.
All members of the Forum serve to represent the groups that either elect or nominate them, they are a strategic group and can commission work or establish working groups to consider issues in more detail.
Further information on the Schools Forum and pre-December 2012 meetings can be found here.
