Issue - meetings

To approve as a correct record the minutes of the meeting of 19 November 2020.

RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of the Forum on 19 November 2020 be approved as a correct record.

Arising from minute 157, Paul Clark advised that he had not yet completed the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) Management Template. However, the Council was complying with Department for Education (DfE) expectations and there was no deadline from the DfE for submission. Paul Clark was planning to ask a couple of members to assist in agreeing what presentation format of the Management template would be useful for members and the Chair suggested that some members of Sub-Group could assist.

Arising from minute 159, Paul Clark explained that the motion outlined in the minutes had been submitted to the DfE in draft form. The Forum was asked to ratify that comment.

RESOLVED to RATIFY the submission that:

“The Schools Forum strongly supports the representations that Bracknell Forest Council is making to the DfE to continue this mode of funding which has already provided benefit for the pupils in Bracknell Forest Schools”.
