Autumn Term - 11 November 2022

Dear School Leaders 

Please could you circulate this to your parents and any teacher/headteacher colleagues you have around the country. We have 6,500 signatures in just a few days, but need to get to 100,000 to get this debated in parliament.

Dear parents/carers,

You may have seen in the news that two thirds of schools will be in deficit by the end of this financial year. This is through no fault of their own. Costs are rising and funding is lower than it was a decade ago. 

The current funding increase and energy bill relief scheme will not be enough to prevent further cutbacks. This will greatly harm our education system and pupils. 

Please sign and share this petition here to get this crisis debated in parliament - https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/627130 

Thank you. 

Best wishes,

Steve Hitchcock
