Sheffield Education Funding Forum

Please note that as of agreement at the February 2024 meeting, the Sheffield Schools Forum will now be known as the Sheffield Education Funding Forum.

The Forum is a statutory body that provides a formal channel of communication between ourselves and education providers in the city. It also serves as a mechanism for consultation on school funding.

There are three types of Forum member: school member, non-school member and other attendees. Membership is fully representative and proportionate of different school sectors. Non-school membership includes:

  • early years private, voluntary and independent sector 
  • Learn Sheffield
  • the 16 to 19 sector
  • faith schools
  • trade unions
  • other attendees include representation from ourselves, including the Cabinet Member for Education. Details of current Forum members, including which sector they represent are available to view and download.
