Schools Forum meeting papers

The Schools Forum is a body we consult before any changes are made to the funding formula for our local schools. We also consult the Forum on other financial matters affecting schools. Below are papers from past meetings of the group.

Meeting dates for the 2020/21 financial year are 15 October 2020, 3 December 2020, 14 January 2021, and 11 March 2021. Meetings commence at 5pm. Venue: Council Chamber at Reading Borough Council Civic Offices.
