SCHOOLS are still being forced to make cuts due to 14 years of Tory underfunding, leading teachers and parents to call for action by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in next week’s Budget.

Growing class sizes, cuts to subjects such as music, sport and arts and increasing problems in retaining staff are all hitting schools.

Teachers and parents from the National Education Union (NEU) Stop School Cuts campaign will tomorrow present the Chancellor with an open letter signed by over 10,000 parents calling on her to restore school spending to the level of the previous Labour government in 2010.
