Each governing body can nominate one governor from their governing body.

Further Information
The Norfolk Schools Forum is an important statutory body which makes decisions on certain school funding issues and, at times, must be consulted by the Local Authority on other funding decisions. It is vital that governors are fully represented on this influential body.
The Norfolk Schools Forum meets around seven times throughout the year; the meetings are in the Norwich area and may be in the morning or the afternoon. They will usually be held at South Green Park, Mattishall.
Governor representatives should be able to attend these meetings; when they cannot attend they must contact the clerk of the NGN to arrange for a substitute to attend.
The term of office for governor representatives is four years from 1st January 2011.
