HEADS UP

Schools Forum Elections

Warwickshire Schools Forum is in the process of re-electing its membership.  A mixture of Headteachers (or senior leadership representatives) and Governors are required to be School Forum members, as detailed below: 

  • 6 vacancies for primary maintained schools 
  • 1 vacancy for secondary maintained schools 
  • 3 vacancies for primary academies 
  • 7 vacancies for secondary academies. 
  • 1 vacancy for special schools maintained 
  • 1 vacancy for special schools academy 
  • 1 vacancy for maintained nursery school 

School members should be broadly a 50:50 split between Headteachers (or their representatives) and Governors where this is possible.  As a minimum, there must be at least one representative of headteachers and one representative of governors among the schools members. 

The role of The Schools Forum is to act as a consultative body with regard to a range of funding decisions as listed in the Warwickshire Schools Forum Terms of Reference and the Education and Skills Funding Agency publication 'Schools Forum Powers and Responsibilities'.  

This is a great opportunity for you to make a difference in Warwickshire schools. 

If you are elected to Schools Forum you will be required to serve for a period of two years with the first meeting being at 2pm on Thursday 23 June, using Microsoft Teams.  

Meetings are generally held on Thursdays, usually between 2pm and 4pm.  It is likely these meetings will continue to be held virtually for the foreseeable future. 

Future meetings dates 

  • 23 June 2022 
  • 29 September 2022 
  • November 2022 Extraordinary meeting (if required) 
  • 12 January 2023
