How do cuts impact school budgets?
Our schools have faced cuts for years. Putting additional pressures on schools’ already stretched budgets without funding them will continue to exacerbate existing issues:
Inadequate provisions for children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities, with waiting lists already keeping children out of school for months.
Under-resourced classrooms mean teachers are having to buy their own gluesticks and essential school supplies.
Crumbling school buildings, where the worst impacts include ceilings quite literally caving in, boilers breaking down in the middle of winter, and exposed asbestos.
Our schools cannot make more cuts. heads, teachers and school staff have done all they can: cutting programs, shaving costs, paying for their own classroom essentials. Heads are making impossible choices again and again to keep our schools running.
The Chancellor must stop any new school cuts and start reversing years of cuts now.
