ABOUT
Why do we need to save our schools?
The Government's ‘new’ funding formula is based entirely upon the current discredited funding arrangements that schools already endure. In real terms this translates to a reduction of 4.6 per cent of per-pupil funding by 2019.
These policies are stressing our state schools to breaking point, and represent a betrayal for a generation of children's life chances. This latest blow to our children's education comes after years of narrowing the school curriculum, and raising the bar so high on primary SATs tests that 47% of 10-11 year olds were told they had 'failed'.
"Children are not only extremely good at learning; they are much better at it than we are."
