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.

-£56000 by 2019

lalalonglegs · 28/04/2017 16:12

Holy shit - £852,211, £624 per pupil, 19 teachers. I am Shock and Angry. How can anyone vote Tory with this going on?

BlackHillsofDakota · 28/04/2017 16:18

DD1 is £257 per pupil and DD2 is £299 per pupil ShockSad

I've just looked at the school my son will be attending in September - it's even worse: £1,010,924, £791 per pupil, 24 teachers.

tinypop4 · 28/04/2017 21:06

-314 per pupil and -2 teachers. Awful really, this is just an infant school I can't imagine the damage for larger schools.

OdinsLoveChild · 28/04/2017 21:16

It says -£355,263.00 or £366 per pupil or the loss of 9 teachers, however, they have the number of pupils at the school as being 500 less than the actual number on the OFSTED report/schools website.

They are also assuming the average teachers salary is £37,250 which is incorrect according to the schools website. Its £32,200.

Taking the number of pupils into account the reduction would be £253 per pupil. Not as 'headline grabbing' but obviously still a reduction. It would be the loss of 11 teachers at the lower average salary.

So basically it says theres a reduction but as they didn't get any of the numbers correct then I cant actually be sure there will be such a reduction.

Takeittotheboss · 29/04/2017 00:23

£416 per pupil. 1 teacher (out of 4!). Very disturbing indeed. What to do?

ThroughTheOtherSide · 29/04/2017 09:37

The nearest school to me is set to lose almost £300,000 equivalent to 8 teachers and a friend of mine has just been made redundant from another school. This is only the start, once the cuts begin to take affect it will be disastrous and you can bet all the non compulsory and creative subject teachers will be cut first. So if your child likes drama, music or languages they won't have that choice. If anyone knows of specific subject cuts can they post them here so that we can see exactly which subjects are being cut back.

£535 per pupil, 7 teachers.

Not worth educating children as in 20 years time a lot of jobs will be automated. Great...

Mrsboathook · 29/04/2017 11:04

£411 per pupil in a school of only 115 pupils- loss of 1 of 4 teachers.
Madness.

mrz · 29/04/2017 13:19

I understand there is an open letter signed by 500+ head teachers ( including mine ) published in the press today

ThroughTheOtherSide · 29/04/2017 13:37

If you know the link could you post it as I would like to use it elsewhere. Thanks

Toffeewhirl · 29/04/2017 13:44

You can put the name of the school in, Minnie, that might pull it up. If the school is a free school, then the data may not be available - a free school near me was on the map but there was no information when you clicked on it.

MinniesAndMickeysNeedCounting · 29/04/2017 14:00

lala thanks that's what I did, it gave me a map over the area where the school is but not pin to click on, could move the map around and see all the other schools in the area, just not this one. Strange.

This is a very sad article about the impact on SEN pupils.

BoneyBackJefferson · 29/04/2017 14:36

-8 teachers
it is why we are not recruiting for non core subjects where the teachers are leaving.

youarenotkiddingme · 29/04/2017 14:41

11 teachers in ds secondary. That's 1 teacher per 100 pupils.

cantseemtohaveitall · 29/04/2017 14:45

£694 per pupil, 11 teachers at my DS primary

Clavinova · 29/04/2017 15:17

Kymble
I couldn't help noticing though the only 2 comments after the tes article you linked about the downs boy/funding cuts:

"This awful story doesn't seem entirely straight forward. If those SEND children have an EHCP then they cannot simply be waved off and - in many cases it is their presence which will have brought with it the funding for TAs.
Undoubtedly school finances are dire. However, this article misrepresents the situation somewhat and could be unecessarily alarming to many families."

"Well said, this article is entirely mis-representing the situation."

In the government tables the primary school in question is showing 1% of pupils with SEN down from 4.6% in 2014 and 44 teaching assistants although it is a large school.

mrz · 29/04/2017 15:26

What good is an EHCP if there simply isn't any money to support it! I very much doubt the child hasn't got an EHCP ...schools are saying we simply can't afford this as we have no money in our budget to meet this child's needs.

Clavinova · 29/04/2017 15:38

Every child in the school has an iPad though. This particular school will miss out under the new funding formula because of its very low fsm rate.

luckycatclover · 29/04/2017 15:42

Loss of over 1m.
-558 per pupil & loss of 24 teachers. Wow.
