For millions of children, these cuts will lead to larger class sizes, reduced subject choice and less individual support for children.
For teachers it means more real-terms pay cuts, more unmanageable workloads and less time to teach each child.
That’s why we’ve relaunched the campaign to Stop School Cuts now.
After years of cuts, we are calling for the Government to invest £12.2 billion this year at the upcoming Spring Budget to start reversing the impact of Government cuts. Broken down, that means:
For the schools block, £3.2 billion is required to start reversing the impact of Government cuts.
Many children with SEND are not receiving the support they need. £4.6billion for high needs funding just to prevent the crisis from getting any worse.
Children are regularly learning in buildings that are falling apart, with leaky roofs, mould, and undiscovered asbestos. Schools need £4.4 billion this year to begin to repair buildings and bring facilities up to scratch.
We need to spread the message, it’s up to you who you vote for, but let’s push all candidates to prioritise education after the election and force them to provide the education our children deserve.
