Schools Forum Membership update

Minutes:

Maggie Waller reported the analysis of membership carried out following the October census which showed 64% of pupils in Academies and 36% in Maintained  schools. Further conversions in December 2017 have moved this figure to 71% Academies, 29% in Maintained schools.

 

The overall Forum membership to be maintained at 20, with 11 Academy members and 4 Maintained representatives; the two current maintained vacancies to be deleted, and two new members to be recruited from Academies.

 

It was agreed that the nominations for Academy members would be sought through the normal election procedure involving writing to academy proprietors. John Constable will take this forward.

 

Terms of office of some members end in summer 2017 and early 2018. A proposal was made and agreed to extend terms for a further 2-3 years where those members are willing to continue – this would require agreement of CoGs and Academy proprietors. John Constable will take this forward.
