Initially I had planned on complaining that the national schools funding formula was unfair, for some schools it still feels like the funding formula is unfair but it is a step in the right direction in addressing some of the fundamental issues in the education sector.. In researching this topic I have instead discovered that regardless of where you are in the country you will not benefit from…
Angela Rayner MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Education, commenting on an NAO report on capital funding for schools, said:
“Hundreds of secondary schools in England are already full to capacity, while thousands more are crumbling and in desperate need of repair. Yet the Tories continue to waste millions opening free schools in areas that do not need them.
“The Government needs to concentrate on increasing capacity and improving schools in the areas that need it the most.”
This is only going to get worse with the new schools funding formula.
The government have no clue what is actually happening in schools outside of London, it really is a disgrace.
