Why have we asked you to come?

  • An unprecedented crisis in education funding
  • Schools are good at hiding it. We are good at it here.
  • But we are getting to a point where the cracks are

beginning to show

  • School income is being cut. Inflation isn’t taken into

account.

  • Whereas our expenditure keeps rising with inflation...

What are the implications for our school?

  • No funding for training, additional resources or supply

teaching, which staff cover internally.

  • Next year, if nothing changes, we will have to look at

further strategies; reduced resources, decreased staffing hours and/or increasing class sizes

  • Essential ancillary support services like the Parent

Support Advisor have already been cut

  • Our school as we know it will start to look different…
  • So, what can we do about it?
