A great end to a great day. Thank you to colleagues across education for supporting today’s #TogetherforEducation rally and making the vital case for improved funding for schools and colleges. #SchoolCuts
Spending on education as a share of GDP is at a historic all-time low. This is why the #SchoolCuts campaign is so important.
We can afford to invest in education - in fact we can’t afford not to. Investment in education is an investment in our future.

Despite the government insisting it is spending more on schools the evidence shows that in reality 17,723 schools have had their funding cut since 2015, 62 of those schools are in Peterborough. #SchoolCuts#SENDNationalCrisis
I was pleased to be able to deliver a brief solidarity message to the demo against the cuts to SEND provision today. The children, parents & campaigners who are taking this fight to the Govt deserve all of our support, but they really shouldn't have to. What an absolute disgrace.
Hundreds have been protesting in the capital, trying to raise awareness of what they are calling, a national crisis in education for children with special needs. A petition with over 12,000 signatures was handed in at Downing street. #SENDNationalCrisis
My message for SEND/neurodiverse children at today's #SENDCrisis#SENDNationalCrisis rally at Parliament Square.
We CANNOT let these senseless cuts stand in their way of the education they DESERVE.
As disabled children and families march throughout the country government statistics show that things are getting worse. The percentage of EHCPs completed within the 20 week MAXIMUM time limit has decreased by 5%. Only 60% completed within the legal limit. #SendNationalCrisis
Come join us like many others will be at Downing Street and parliament. protesting to stop the cuts being made to special educational needs funding. #SENDCrisisMarch#SendNationalCrisis#protest
Massive shout out to Poppy, Nadia and Sharon at @SendCrisis and all the local co-ordinators and supporters who have organised the #SendNationalCrisis march. They are truly amazing.
