Election for an Academy Representative on Norfolk Schools Forum
The Norfolk Schools Forum has a vacancy for an Academy representative, 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 member will be in post for the School Forum meeting on 27 January 2023.
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, nomination papers have been emailed to all Trusts. If you have not received your nomination paper, please email marilyn.edgeley@norfolk.gov.uk.
The closing date for nominations is 16 December 2022.
