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.

And local primary school is increasing in size, with a bulge class, this year, but definitely no immigrants here in our village. Sorry, choc.

PickaChew i was exaggerating on what Corbyn has promised, it's called sarcasm

Pick have you ever heard of displacement?

I think my kids school is a the top end of the cuts!

Displacement from where, Choc? Give your head a wobble. Incomers definitely regional - more a case of moderately priced village to cheaper mining village with lots of nice newbuilds, as people start their life as independent adults or with new families.

We're incomers ourselves. Moved for the lovely cheap house in a quiet area with good commuter links with the entire county at our disposal. MIL still 10 minutes away. That town is still very, very white and regionally accented, too. DH definitely didn't choose not to stay there because it was too cosmopolitan.

I know about half a dozen non-sterotypically white British people in our village and they've all been here longer than my own 14 years (apart from the kids born here).

He is not ultra left wing that is why he has attracted so many new supporters. He wants to:
Build more affordable houses to rent and buy
Save the NHS
Fund schools properly
Fund Social care properly
Protect pensions
Set up a national investment bank to help small and medium sized businesses
Introduce a £10 minimum wage so people don't need to claim working tax credits to make ends meet and companies aren't getting subsidised by the tax payer
Bring the railways back into public ownership when the franchises are up for renegotiation.
That's not ultra left wing. It is just making a fair and compassionate society which looks after everyone not just the corporations

they're probably planning their move to your village soon and will be baking up a few babies just in time for the concrete to set.

Concrete care to elaborate?

Obvs you're not a racist, but...

Pick Jesus pull the other one..don't give me that 'you're racist' bollox

Tell me how that comment about "they" baking up babies is not racist, choc

And I still don't understand the concrete reference.

Pick 🙄

Sorry He's the epitome of left wing.
He's probably gained new followers because of. Resist and all the hype surrounding it.

He can promise the world, it where s he going to find the money or it??
For example my partner owns and runs a small business with 6 employees, they're on £10 an hour currently, if minimum wage were to increase, he'd be up shit creek without a paddle, his business would struggle in all honesty.

You can't please everyone all of the time.

*because of Brexit

Dd's primary school is losing 4 teachers - but no idea how when all classes are full.

It sounds like other schools are being hit worse though.

Where will all the teachers go? What about class size restrictions? What do primaries do once all the teaching tas walk out after being paid crap wages? All this and making the bar higher to pass and get a good job!

And cutting SEN support? 😡 Those kids are just as entitled to an education as any other child. The support enables this. Without the support many will not be able to access education. But that's ok. We already know how the Torres feel about the disabled! 😡😡

Luker that's why it's not illegal to keep your child home.
Legally as long as your child is having a full time education (doesn't have to be curriculum based) then it doesn't matter where it's held.
YouTube free range children, they don't even learn?!.

If the new government could just work on families being able to survive on one wage like they used to, then we could consider home schooling our children and free up some financial support that way.

JC wants to "save the NHS.*
Yeah, coz it's that simple!

£140,382 by 2019
£788 per pupil
3 teachers

I truly fail to see how any parent could vote Tory 😡😢

-21 teachers at our school
Can't believe Labour don't make more of this - it's a ready-made goal - and really easy to sell. Feel so let down that they cannot organise themselves to get the message across - yes it may be policy but WE DON''T KNOW.

Bbc report the head teachers response www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-39733155
The government reaction is so slippery. The Tories just keep lying about this issue- every state school is losing funding and it's politically imposed and unnecessary. They would happily have SPENT more than this cut on forcing through all schools to become academies.

'The £3bn savings expected of England's schools threaten the stability of the whole education system, says the National Association of Head Teachers.
General secretary Russell Hobby says ministers should no longer be allowed to claim school funding is protected.
The Department for Education has said school funding is at record levels. But the Institute of Fiscal Studies says this claim does not tell the whole story or take account of the impact of cost pressures on per pupil funding. It has just published research which says to keep school funding at its present levels in real terms, an extra £2bn will be needed between 2017 and 2022.
'Admit the reality'
Between 2015 and 2017, schools had been required to make £1.7bn savings, it added.
Luke Sibieta, director of education, employment and evaluation at the IFS, said: "When the government says school funding is at record levels it isn't telling the whole story.
"It doesn't take into account cost pressures and the impact of those on per pupil funding," he told the BBC News website.
Mr Hobby, whose association is gathering for its annual conference in Telford, said that although a number of organisations had found significant cost pressures affecting schools, the government's standard line was that "school funding had never been higher".
He said rising costs and additional expenses, like increases in National Insurance and pension contributions, meant cash was not going as far as it used to.
"You can't expect it to. But the government is flatly refusing to admit the reality," he said. "Until they do, schools are at risk."'

This is not showing actual loss of teachers. It is showing the projected real terms "cut" in terms of average teacher salaries. If it says -4 teachers for your school, it doesn'the mean 4 teachers will be gone by September. Or at all.

The Primary is losing £404 per child equating to 2 teachers. The High School is losing £630 per child equivalent to 19 teachers. We are in one of the most poorly funded areas and these cuts are being sold as a way to bring equality to funding. We're also a Tory area. Hope some of the local voters wake up.

Although in the case of secondary schools it probably will mean teacher cuts. My school is making teachers redundant, along with support staff and pastoral staff. Class sizes will be going up. Subjects are being cut at sixth form and lower down the school teaching hours for the arts and technology subjects will be reduced.

My first post said "the website takes you to a website that outlines the loss to your local school and what that equates to if teachers are cut." Schools are free to make the cuts wherever they see fit, usually by cutting support staff first which many have done already.
As regards the comment "Can't believe Labour don't make more of this" they actually been shouting this out from the rooftops including at Prime Ministers Question Time, but the newspapers will not print it because they are owned by the 5 richest men who want a conservative government that won't make them pay their taxes. Even the TV news programmes are not reporting it properly so it's pretty hard to get it out there without their help. If you watch carefully you will see an underlying bias against Jeremy Corbyn and the MSM focus mostly on personalities instead of policies because the government pay the BBC's wages through the license fee. That's why this forum and Facebook is invaluable because we can tell each other what they won't.
