Introductions to School Forums

We are proud to launch a bold new direction in school governance — one that places people before paperwork, purpose before process.


Following a review of our governance structure, it was clear that there was still some overlap between the various governance structures, and a lack of clarity about different roles. 


This new model of governance liberates school forum members from the weight of routine compliance, empowering them instead to focus on what truly matters: the ethos of the school, the well-being of students and staff, and the strength of community relationships.


We are shifting the conversation — from one of oversight to one of insight. From scrutiny to support. From managing risk to building trust.


This is not about doing less; it is about using local representatives to build connection and ensure schools are anchors of their community.


We hope this website begins to explain the roles of our new School Forums.

Aims

The three aims of each School Forum are as follows:


  • Aim 1: To further develop the school as a church school - serving and supporting the school to live out its vision and values as a church school
  • Aim 2: To further develop the school as the anchor in its community - serving the local and wider community
  • Aim 3: To facilitate the essential 'bridge' from the local school to the Board - ensuring each individual school context is known, understood and supported by the Board, facilitating collaborative working and valuing local expertise, knowledge and partnerships.
