Schools Forum

The Schools forum:

  • helps schools, partners and the Council to advance pupils in North Tyneside
  • provides advice and support on using funds effectively
  • makes sure schools, partners and providers are equally represented
  • is made up mainly of head teacher and governing body representatives
  • has non-school members from further education, the private and voluntary sector, diocese and trust representatives
  • meets five times a year during term time - all meetings are open to the public (or live streamed when held virtually)
  • has a constitution that is regularly reviewed
