Terms of Reference The Schools Funding Forum will carry out its statutory functions, make decisions and provide strategic advice to KCC 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 other such statutory bodies responsible for the funding of 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 has the ability to commission work from external consultants and KCC staff and will delegate issues to the following sub groups: Delegated Formula Funding Group Schools Capital Group Early Years Group Central Costs and Specific Grants Group (now disbanded) Membership Schools Funding Forum Membership [June 2011] Executive Group Roland Gooding, Headteacher of Valence School, Chair of the Schools' Funding Forum E-mail: rgooding@valence.kent.sch.uk Philip Sayer, Governor at South Borough Primary School, Vice Chair of the Schools Funding Forum and Chair of the Schools' Capital Group E-mail: philsayer@btinternet.com John Dennis, Chair of Governors at Harvey Grammar School, Chair of Delegated Formula Funding Group E-mail: john@saltwood.demon.co.uk Meeting Dates Academic Year 2011-12 20-01-12: Oakwood House, Maidstone [08.00 - 12.00] 11-05-12: Oakwood House, Maidstone [08.00 - 12.00] 13-07-12: Oakwood House, Maidstone [08.00 - 12.00] Agendas and Meetings
