Four in five schools to have less money in 2020 than 2015
A study by the School Cuts Coalition estimates it would cost £2.5bn to reverse the Tories' education cuts

A DAMNING study by a coalition of teaching unions has revealed that four in five English schools will be worse off next year than they were in 2015.

New data released today by the School Cuts Coalition, which represents five teaching unions, finds that about 16,000 schools will have less money per pupil in 2020 than in 2015.

Schools in the most deprived areas of the country will lose out the most, the study finds, but vital funding will be lost for children in practically every local authority.
