This evening

• What are the implications for our school?
• What can you do about it?

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?

What can you do about it?

• We would love your support to help campaign for our

school’s future. Here’s how:

○ Sign the e-petition set up by parent led forum www.fairerfundingforschools.org ○ Write to our MP, Peter Heaton-Jones, via schoolscuts.org or using our template letter ○ Write to our DCC Councillor Caroline Chugg and the Secretary

• f State for Education, Justine Greening

○ Share it with all your friends: #schoolsjustwannahavefunds ○ If you are interested we have more suggestions!

What (else) can you do about it?

• There are other ways you can help…

○ Please support FROGS - we are going to need every penny! ○ Give us your email (if you’d like to) and we can email you links to help you find out more

Thank you for coming...
