Schools Forums

Schools Forums are local advisory bodies composed of school leaders, local authorities, parents, and other stakeholders. They provide a platform for discussing and agreeing on how funding for schools is allocated within a specific area. The forum helps ensure that decisions about resources are transparent, fair, and meet the needs of different schools and communities. By involving various voices, Schools Forums support collaborative planning and effective use of funds to improve educational outcomes. They play a key role in balancing national guidelines with local priorities to create a supportive environment for all schools in the area.
