to be scared by school budget cuts?

[TeeGee123]

My son's school is a two form entry primary. They're losing £805 per pupil, equivalent to SIX teaching salaries.

Although the government says that its moving money around nationally, all my FB friends (Penzance, Abergavenny, Manchester) are seeing cuts at their schools. (they checked here: www.schoolcuts.org.uk/)

What's going on? Anyone on here getting MORE in their local schools?

And yet we've just had a thread with a parent complaining about paying £13 for a school trip - cue a rallying cry of 'it should come out of school funds if it's for their education!' I'm a teacher and the amount of parents with 2 brand new 4x4s on their drives that do not wish to make the 'voluntary contribution' sickens me. People need to know the dire state of funding before refusing to put their hands in their very deep pockets.

And I don't know what pay rises people are talking about, my pay has increased by about £30 over the last 4 years

There are extra costs schools have to pay to cover increased NIC costs.

Schools and other public services have been shat on by austerity. But Theresa May just denies it all.

letseatgrandma As the parent of a 16 year old I do not want inexperienced NQTs teaching my child.

Expecting schools to fund school trips because parents are too tight fisted to pay really gets my goat. I shall find this thread and add my two pennyworth.

Our voices will count on this. The fact that there is organised cross-party opposition means that the government may not get their way.
