Terms of Reference The Schools Funding Forum will carry out its statutory functions, make decisions and provide strategic advice to KCC's executive on matters relating to the funding of schools. The Forum will present a consensus view to inform KCC policy on the overall Schools Budget and the calculation of individual schools' budgets by formula. The Forum will also make recommendations to pass on to central government and the LSC concerning their funding policies and arrangements for schools. The Forum is committed to an on-going review of funding arrangements and to disseminate practical guidance to schools to aid budget planning. In carrying out its functions the Schools Funding Forum will delegate issues to sub groups covering central budgets, the delegation formula and Standards Fund. The Forum also has the ability to commission work from external consultants and KCC staff.
