Sheffield Schools Forum

The Forum is a statutory body that provides a formal channel of communication between ourselves and Sheffield schools. It also serves as a mechanism for consultation on school funding.

There are 3 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.
