92% of mainstream schools will face real terms funding cuts from April. That’s 18,484 schools – 99 per cent of secondary and 91 per cent of primary – that will be unable to cope with cost increases in 2024/25 without making cuts to staff or education provision. #InvestInEducation #SchoolCuts schoolcuts.org.uk/

What does half the funding look like in your school? Half the TA's? Half the books? Half the services? Half a day a week? Finish the job Boris and fund our schools properly! #HalfWayThere #SaveOurSchools #Budget2020 @PreetKGillMP @JackDromeyMP @jessphillips @CalderdaleASC

The Budget next week must #ValueEducation. Our schools, colleges and nurseries need a cash injection to help them recover from the cuts since 2010. Learn more about our funding campaign👉bit.ly/38pBzDa theguardian.com/education/20…

In 2019-20, average per pupil school funding stands at £5,940. That compares to £6,050 in 2010-11 in today's terms - representing a 1.8 per cent decrease tes.com/news/school-funding-…

tes.com/news/job-cuts-next-y… My views (and that of others) on the teacher pay proposals. I really worry that recent government funding will go into propping up new pay awards rather than addressing all the cuts that we've faced over a decade. Another real terms cut looms...

Mr Johnson has just referred to 'record' spending in education. NO mention of real terms per pupil spending I hope that the 'more money than ever before' nonsense is not re-branded Children deserve better than that in the years ahead tes.com/news/watch-now-fund-… @seanjcoughlan

There can be no going back from the funding commitments in the September spending round. It’s a start but it’s not enough. In particular, more funding for SEND and 16-19 education is desperately needed over and above what has been allocated so far. @ASCL_UK
