School funding

Action  |  Fair and adequate school funding

You will recall Devon is part of a joint campaign for fairer funding along with 16 other authorities.  Following the general election outcome on 8 June, schools are strongly encouraged to contact their parent communities again with this latest communication regarding school funding.

The salient points are as follows:

 * The Conservative manifesto pledged an additional £4bn to fund schools over the next five years

 * Schools across England are still awaiting a detailed announcement relating to the introduction of an urgently needed National Funding Formula

 * School funding – and severe teacher shortages – are having a profoundly negative effect on school provision.

Please send a copy of this L E T T E R  to your parents which outlines further details and reassures them that schools are determined to work collaboratively to ensure fair and adequate school funding for every school.
