Heads go to Downing Street with 'dire' funding warning
 |
| Tanbridge House School in West Sussex |
Lots of head teachers in England have written to prime minister Theresa May to warn her of a funding crisis that could lead to: reduced school hours, loss of staff and certain subjects being cut. Every state school in West Sussex has signed the letter asking for £20 million in emergency funds. Over 250 primary, secondary, special schools, academies and local authority schools claim that cuts will have to be made if they do not receive the £20 million emergency funding. According to the letter sent to the prime minister "schools are struggling to function adequately on a day to day basis.
I picked this story because this must be a very serious situation if so many schools have signed this letter to the prime minister. Also it is important that students have sufficient resources when going through school, I am sure a school that is limiting the amount of subjects it teaches and has to lay off several members of staff is not good enough to get their students through their exams. I believe the government should try to fund as many schools as possible because the support is needed to give all of the students a fair shot at succeeding at school.
