Report CEF21053

The report provided an overview of the representation on the Schools Forum.  The Forum noted that the Constitution was subject to annual review and this year there had been no major changes requiring amendment to the constitution.  Noting that there was no longer a maintained pupil referral unit, which was vacant, the Forum noted that the proposal was to keep membership as it was (at 19, including schools and non-school representatives) and retain representation in areas, even where pupil numbers were small.

The Forum also noted the high number of current vacancies. 

It was noted that it was unlikely that there would be further changes required in response to the NFF until 2022/23 at the earliest.

The Chairman proposed that the Constitution should refer to “Governors/Trustees”, this change was endorsed by the Forum.

RESOLVED: That the Constitution be agreed subject to the change outlined above.
