Hounslow Council Schools Forum
Hounslow Council Schools Forum is discussing proposals to raise the surplus balance threshold for schools and de-delegate budgets.
The Hounslow Council Schools Forum is currently discussing proposals to raise the threshold at which school balances are considered excess, which could allow schools to retain a larger percentage of their funding. In November 2025, the forum met to consider these changes, alongside de-delegating budgets for various services.
The council intends to review and update the Scheme and Financial Regulations for Financing, a process aimed at supporting schools in financial and budget management. This update seeks to improve schools' strategic financial planning of resources and empower them, as reported in November 2025.
