Elections for Academy Representatives on Norfolk Schools Forum

The Norfolk Schools Forum has a vacancy for two Academy representatives, and we are therefore holding an election. Academy members must be elected by the proprietor body of the academies in the local area.

Background

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.

The elected members will be in post from November 2020.

The overseeing of the election of academy members has been delegated to Norfolk County Council by Norfolk Schools Forum.

All Academy Trusts or Academies where they are not part of a Trust are entitled to put forward one candidate for the election and nomination papers have been emailed out this week. If you have not received your nomination paper please email marilyn.edgeley@norfolk.gov.uk.

The closing date for nominations is Thursday 22 October 2020.
