Our Schools' Forum, which represents the governors and headteachers of our schools.
The Government requires every local authority to set up a Schools' Forum. Its purpose is to provide strategic direction for the funding of schools in the local authority and support services in relation to new school funding arrangements covering:
- the Dedicated Schools' Grant (DSG)
- the Schools' Budget (centrally retained and Individual School Budget)
- the Pupil Premium
- Devolved Formula Capital
- wider issues such as service contracts and service level agreements
