Minutes:
It was confirmed that Early Years had previously been agreed by the Task Group (to be covered under minute number 10 on the agenda).
The High Needs centrally retained element was known but there had been insufficient time to produce a report for this meeting. This work had been completed by Johnny Kyriacou (Associate Director, Education & Inclusion) and was deferred to the next meeting of Schools Forum. There was only a need for LA to inform Schools Forum, so no decisions were required.
There had been no changes to the CSSB and there was nothing further to report on centrally retained items.
It was explained that the academy recruitment figures had not yet been received: Susan Woodland would update Schools Forum on these for 2021/22 when the detail became available.
