“Take the warning from the Calderdale Against School Cuts (CASC) campaigners, here in Yorkshire. The CASC survey highlighted how “the school funding crisis hasn’t disappeared, and hardship isn’t on hold”

Schools are facing a perfect storm, as the number of pupils attending continues to fall, due to the declining
population, but the cost pressures they face continue to rise.

Disturbing results @Kate_Dearden @JoshFG from survey of Calderdale heads.
Schools face cuts to the essentials and reduce adult support when the need for such support continues to increase.
The school funding crisis hasn’t disappeared, and hardship isn’t on hold.

The Chancellor has a unique opportunity in her forthcoming budget to ensure that she invests in children’s futures.
Tax the rich and enrich our children’s futures.
It’s not rocket science.

@AnnaFazack1 as schools face economic headwinds from rising prices, with inflation, which was 2.2% in August, but 2.7% across 2024; we will be asking primary school leaders 5 very important questions.

After 14 years of devastating cuts, our schools have reached breaking point.
Tell Rachel Reeves: this Government must restore school funding.
Join me in sharing the open letter to the Chancellor:

At least 16,000 people were turned away at the last election thanks to the #voterID rules. Add your name to @electoralreform's call to scrap for the government to think again, and scrap voter ID. action.electoral-reform.org.…

It is deeply concerning that education was almost entirely ignored in tonight's TV debate - our children’s future is at stake. All parties must demonstrate they have the ambition to restore education as a national priority #GE2024 #BBCDebate #ElectionDebate #ForTheirFuture

In today’s Budget Debate I shared @CalderdaleASC’s survey results spelling out the desperate situation facing school budgets;
49% of primary heads had made cuts to teaching staff
84% hadn’t replaced staff who left
73% had cut support staff
80% couldn’t afford building repairs
