www.schoolcuts.org.uk/#/schools. Use the link then add your post code. This will take you to a website that outlines the loss to your local school and what that equates to if teachers are cut. Some schools will be cutting support staff first others are fundraising.
Share the details of the loss here so we can see how this will affect our children's education. Also if you know what your school is doing to make up the shortfall please post it here.

So not a good time to decide to become a teacher then?!

leccybill · 27/04/2017 19:32

£286 per pupil and 1 teacher in my daughter's small primary.

£514 per pupil and a staggering 15 teachers (including me Sad) where I work.

Fucking disgusting. I just don't get how this isn't headline news, and why we aren't protesting in the streets.
Do some people not know/care?

It angers me so much that this election seems to be being fought on brexit arguments, education and health are more important issues imho.

Orangetoffee · 27/04/2017 19:33

387 per pupil
-9 teachers

Summerisdone · 27/04/2017 19:34

Wow I've just checked out the school my child will most likely attend when he starts school.
It said by 2019 (they year he will start) they will be down £220, 056 total / £1,318 per pupil Shock
The local authority averages £575 per pupil by 2019.
This is a very good school but sadly could quickly become a struggling one with those kind of cuts

lamado · 27/04/2017 19:35

My DCs primary school is losing over £400k, the local secondary is losing over £1million. It's absolutely scandalous.

KikiDeliversCakes · 27/04/2017 19:35

Our secondary is forecasted to be down £577K, the spend per pupil will be down £1.2K and lose 15 teachers.

I don't know how they'll be able to deliver the curriculum in years to come. It's a small school, 15 teachers would have a significant impact Sad

Rufus27 · 27/04/2017 19:38

£544
Eleven teachers.

MoreThanUs · 27/04/2017 19:38

It's not looking good round here either.

I was thinking the other day about TAs though. When I was at infant and junior school we had 30 children and 1 teacher - no TA or any other adult regularly in the classrooo . My DS has a TA in his class 4 days out of 5 (not for specific children - general TA) - just like every other class in the school. Is this sustainable? Seems like a very expensive way to do things. I was a secondary teacher so was nearly always the only staff member in a class.

leccybill · 27/04/2017 19:40

So how does this work then? A fully subscribed one form entry primary has 7 teachers (or p/t equivalents), one for each class of 30.
Where do you cut?

YokoReturns · 27/04/2017 19:42

It's not headline news because Dacre et al decide what the headlines are.

I'm a teacher with young children. I have no idea which way to turn.

My eldest DC will start at school in September; his village school is projected to lose £487 per pupil and 1 teacher.

The secondary school I teach at: £432 per pupil and 9 teachers.

A very tiny school with fewer than 30 pupils in the entire school near us is set to gain, but I can't find any others.

TheFallenMadonna · 27/04/2017 19:46

Glitterglue, as I said below, schools in my area are gaining more through the new funding formula. They are showing as cuts here because of projected inflation and the cut to the Education Services Grant, outstripping any increases. I doubt any school shows an increase on this website, because of this. While I absolutely agree that there is a funding crisis, I think it is important to realise that these are "real terms cuts", and not, for all schools, an actual decrease in £££. Schools which were previously given less money will be given more, and schools which had more will be given less. All schools will have some financing frozen, and all have been battered by the changes to NI.

totorosfluffytummy · 27/04/2017 19:46

For our Primary School
-£260 per pupil
-3 teachers

For our Secondary School
-£691
-15 teachers

No way is this workable

bigmack · 27/04/2017 19:53

'As cliched as this is, surely we should be investing in the future of our country?'

Don't worry - TM is investing in grammar schools. Hmm

Redlocks30 · 27/04/2017 19:54

So how does this work then? A fully subscribed one form entry primary has 7 teachers (or p/t equivalents), one for each class of 30. Where do you cut?

Ours is not replacing retiring teachers and having teaching assistants 'teach' full time in year 4 and Year 5 as these are 'not important' year groups. The parents are not being told this yet!!

rollonthesummer · 27/04/2017 19:54

It's bloody scary.

Do you know how much your child's school budget will be cut? Use the link and post the answer here.
leccybill · 27/04/2017 19:55

Oh yes, Teresa's little pet project will solve all the problems.

bigmack · 27/04/2017 19:55

redlocks Shock is that an academy?

Redlocks30 · 27/04/2017 19:56

It is an academy, yes Sad.

leccybill · 27/04/2017 19:57

Hang on- what? TAs teaching full time?
I hope the parents cause a shitstorm when they find out. I would not be happy about this.

Also, what TA would want to be accountable for all of that pressure and stress, not to mention the workload, 60 hour weeks, aggro from parents etc etc for £13k a year? As soon as the shit hits the fan, they will walk.

tetherended · 27/04/2017 20:00

and having teaching assistants 'teach' full time

Teaching assistants, good ones at least, can teach you know? Not for 13k though, I don't think many get paid as well as that. At my DC's school most of the TAs are education graduates or teachers who work as TAs so I'd regard them as capable of teaching with the right experience.

slightlyglitterbrained · 27/04/2017 20:03

-£219,376 Budget change by 2019
-£614 Per pupil
-7 teachers lost.

As a pp said, it's not in a well off area so no way will a few cake sales make any impact.

3boys3dogshelp · 27/04/2017 20:09

£500 per pupil / 2 teachers lost
BUT
There are only 5 teachers and every class is mixed years already and over ICS regulations by several children already (thanks to appeals). I just don't see how this is possible. Those poor teachers Sad

leccybill · 27/04/2017 20:11

At a school I work in, none of the TAs are education graduates. They are all nans who are great for a cuddle, mopping up tears and laminating. Worth their weight in gold in a school like that where there's a distinct lack of parenting from home - but they couldn't teach a class.

Muddlingalongalone · 27/04/2017 20:14

-220k
£700+ per pupil
6 teachers - out of about 16
Tbh I'd be v surprised if many of the staff were on £37k a year though.
