“This year things have got as bad as I’ve seen in my nearly 20 years of headship." “We have had to cut pretty much all areas of support staff and services." “Our entire capital budget is just £4.5k." This is the reality of education under Bridget Phillipson and The Labour Party 🥀🥀
“The UK Government has advised the Scottish Government that they have not ring-fenced the monies raised from the removal of the VAT exemption for application to schools.” Is there anybody out there still expecting the monies to arrive at state schools? heraldscotland.com/news/25472297.…
According to a survey by the CST, over 50% of school trusts are currently considering cuts to classroom staff, whilst 60% are looking at reducing TA hours. The Labour Party's policies are making it increasingly difficult for schools to recruit & retain staff. This cannot go on.
A reminder that Helen Hayes 💙🌹 voted to tax the support & education of children with SEND just because of the school they attend. Yet here she is - along with several other members of the committee - now claiming to care about SEND issues. It's a little late to feign interest.
Didn’t Matt Rodda write a paper on the disruption caused to children when they move schools mid academic year? Matt then voted to tax children mid academic year & disrupt their education. How dare you claim to widen opportunities as you slam the door for thousands of children.
The Education Secretary's call for schools to introduce an immediate uniform cap was entirely ignored. Good news. The government should stop wasting time legislating on children's clothing and try mitigating the damage they are doing to schools instead. schoolsweek.co.uk/call-for-immed…
