Hillingdon Schools Forum

The Schools Forum meets once a half term to discuss a wide range of topics affecting schools.

The regulations require that the Membership of the Schools Forum must include representatives from schools (including a head teacher and a governor), academies and non-school members. The representation of primary schools, secondary schools and academies must be broadly proportionately represented on the forum, having regard to the total number of pupils registered at them.
