LETTER: Will May u-turn on funding?
In my 35 years as an educational professional I have not previously witnessed a national campaign such as the one in recent months which has been reported in your paper.
Led by headteachers, their staff, governors and supported by parents and unions they point out the damaging reality of what these educational cuts mean for their students: larger classes, fewer staff, less equipment and restricted extra-curricular opportunities.

Hide AdHas May U-turned and pledged to look again at the funding formula?
Has she, and Greening, backtracked on their wasteful spending on free schools and Grammar schools as announced in Hammond’s budget? Unfortunately not.
Let’s hope that May’s politically expedient decision to call a snap General Election will bring her ‘nasty’ party the result they deserve.
