IT IS a sign of the state of Tory Britain in 2022 that 90 per cent of schools will face a real-terms cut to their budget next year.
Per pupil funding will suffer a real-terms cut of £147. For a school of 1,500 students, this equates to losing over £200,000 annually.
On top of historic real-terms cuts, which have seen school spending power reduced by £1.3bn, or 2.9 per cent, since 2015-16, this will have a disastrous effect on our children’s education.
