Agenda item

The Chair drew attention to the work programme on page 17 and asked if Forum members had any questions.

Reverend Mark Bennett commented that the High Needs Block (HNB) was currently facing challenges and queried if the proposed work programme would be sufficient in tackling the issues faced. Rose Carberry reported that six additional meetings of the Heads’ Funding Group (HFG) had been scheduled to focus in detail on the area of high needs and it was expected that this should be sufficient.

It was proposed and seconded that the work programme for 2024/25 be approved. The Chair invited the Forum to vote on the proposal and at the vote the motion was approved.

RESOLVED that the Schools’ Forum approved the work programme for 2024/25.
