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.

The Tories claim that the changes will mean a fairer funding formula, so where are the schools which will benefit?

£299 per pupil. I work there too, so yeah it's scary

This is the solution to all our concerns:

Bloody love Corbyn for actually listening to the teaching professionals.

Are Labour promising to restore school funding to previous levels or are they only promising no further cuts?

Depending on which area graph you look at on the schoolcuts website the biggest reduction in per pupil funding seems to have already taken place for many areas - will Labour restore funding to 2013/14 levels?

Derby's graph must include the extra money they are due to receive under the new funding formula as the curve on the graph rises up slightly but Labour will probably halt the fairer funding formula and Derby won't receive the extra cash - although London boroughs will keep their generous funding I assume?

This is a transcript of what Jeremy Corbyn says about education under Labour:

The cross-party House of Commons Health and Education joint Select Committees have reported on Children and young people’s mental health + the role of education, finding that financial pressures are already restricting the provision of mental health services in schools and colleges. Noting also that many cases of mental illness will begin ages under 15. The report 'suggests that the next Government review' the effects of the budget reductions in the education sector.

This is what is already happening- and the Tories want to make further cuts?!
It is really worrying.

It really is worrying. We mustn't let the results today make us disheartened. The UKIP votes went to the government so we need to make sure all the young people register to vote, and all the apathetic get out to vote too. The thought of 5 more years of cuts and and selling off of our public services is extremely concerning. The cuts in education, social care and mental health services is just the start. Once Brexit kicks in it will be even worse.

BBC reports that
Labour and the Lib Dems are both making multibillion pound funding pledges to tackle school cash shortages in England.
Labour says it would raise corporation tax to spend £4.8bn on keeping up with rising costs, and £335m so no schools lost out from a funding reorganisation.
The Lib Dems are promising £7bn to protect per-pupil funding levels.
The Conservatives said school spending had reached record levels and attacked the two parties' spending plans.
Head teachers have been warning about job losses caused by cash shortages, with the National Audit Office estimating schools will have to cut £3bn from budgets by 2019-20 to meet rising cost pressures.

And Labour will restore EMA.
I can't understand why these strong and stable cuts are being presented to us as anything else. These 'record levels' of school spending clearly aren't enough as it is and cuts on top of that will be catastrophic for schools already struggling.

The government answer to any question about funding for schools and the NHS is to say they are receiving more funding, completely ignoring the fact that there are more patients and more children in school. Disingenuous to say the least. If they won't listen to the Drs, nurses, teachers and support staff who exactly will they listen to? The problem is that the people with the least power and most to lose are suffering. That is a fact. Children needing special needs will suffer. Children who do not fit the mainstream idea of intelligence will suffer. If you don't excel at the core subjects in school, well too bad because the non core subjects will be lost in a bid to balance the books. As for the NHS, it will be the elderly and the mentally ill that have most to lose and because they have the least power the government will succeed in their aim to cut funding by the back door. We should be very very angry on their behalf because if we aren't I really worry for what is still to come.
