A representative of the Borough Treasurer submitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) which provided Members with details of the scheduled meetings for the 2017/18 academic year.  The report also provided Schools Forum members with the opportunity to request reports for future meetings and/or make amendments to the forward planner (Appendix 1).  The report further provided Schools Forum members with the opportunity to request any items for training/development sessions.

The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Schools’ Forum members raised no objections to the proposed dates and therefore these dates would be confirmed for the new 2017/18 academic year.

·         There was currently no planned Schools Forum business for the 6 July meeting and so it was proposed that the 6 July 2017 meeting be postponed.

·         It was further agreed that there should be no requirement to hold a further meeting this term, however this is subject to any key announcements/urgent business matters that may require attention following any DfE announcements post General Election in relation to Schools Funding and particularly the recent Stage 2 Consultation matters.

RESOLVED – (i) That the report be noted.

(ii) That the Schools Forum meeting scheduled for 6 July 2017 be cancelled.
