FlatCashEd

FlatCashEd is the East Sussex campaign to secure fair and sufficient funding for schools.

[Jon Chaloner @chaloner88]

Reception to Year 11 is 12 years - with 13 years of a “freeze on their budgets” for education...

[FlatCashEd @FlatCashEd]

Instead of leaving schools to rely on parental donations if they are lucky.

[Simon Smith @smithsmm]

If the government wanted to make a difference to every school. It could give them a ring-fenced extra £2000 a year to buy books for their library.

[Institute for Fiscal Studies @TheIFS]

Spending per pupil on #schools has fallen by about 8% since 2009-10.

How do extra funds announced in the 2019 Spending Round change the picture?

Playing fast & loose with information for favourable headlines is not an acceptable way to treat our children or our staff. Parents are intelligent, informed and passionate about what’s right for their children’s education. They know. We know. #itsnotagame #notgoodenough

May 2019 @UKStatsAuth to@ @educationgovuk “For a meaningful debate about public spending in any area, it is necessary to have a trustworthy data source. .....we note that the Department does not produce a comprehensive set of official statistics on the funding of schools.”

Expert analysis on school funding from the IFS.

Much to ponder and considerable concerns remain. Worth Less? has more campaigning to do.

A much clearer view of future school funding arrangements by the independent IFS. Our budgets remain vulnerable.

Let’s give @halfon4harlowMP full credit and our full support for this. Like so many ideas from the Education Select Committee it’s based on rational, pragmatic thinking.
Thanks for continuing to champion our schools and funding improvements
@vicgoddard @JamesFrith @EmmaHardyMP

[Laura McInerney @miss_mcinerney]

Because there are more children now, after a demographic dip in the 2000s. #captaincontext

[Worth Less @WorthLessFF]

Thanks for all the RTs. Please keep pushing this. Many MPs across the spectrum are engaged and supportive but they must ‘step up’ on Monday.
Every MP and every party...No ifs, no buts

[Worth Less @WorthLessFF]

74% of secondary schools have reduced their curricular offer in KS4 and KS5

[Worth Less @WorthLessFF]

80% say teachers are making personal financial contributions to support pupils in their schools and the amounts are rising
74% of primary school heads say parents contributions are important to supporting school budgets

[Worth Less @WorthLessFF]

2000 heads speak with one voice. The school funding situation is getting worse and the negative impact upon teacher supply, SEND and social mobility cannot be ignored. Parents and children deserve better

[Worth Less @WorthLessFF]

Yet more independent analysis confirms what reasonable heads have been stating relentlessly for several years.

ITV news will feature Worth Less? and the vitally important views of head teachers throughout the day. The government must act.

‘School funding is dire.’ Sir Rod Aldridge- academy sponsor. Radio 4 Today programme this morning.
Is anyone listening in government?
@NickGibbUK @halfon4harlowMP @EmmaHardyMP @HeadsRoundtable @seanjcoughlan

[Worth Less @WorthLessFF]

Any money for SEND is welcome but:
£125m extra now for 154 LAs. Currrent deficit for High Needs is £480m.
£125m extra next year. Projected HN deficit for 2021 is £1.6bn. Nothing extra for schools
Extra stale bread at Xmas to keep campaigners quiet. No chance.
@seanjcoughlan

[Worth Less @WorthLessFF]

We have secured some money for High Needs in LAs but it’s nowhere near enough. WL? know that campaigning is working though...
WL? asks that, if the DfE has £350m just lying around what the hell is it up to with it’s financial planning?
Schools don’t have a spare penny...

[Geoff Barton @RealGeoffBarton]

"The education secretary’s announcement is a welcome acknowledgement of the crisis in funding for children who most need our help. We have to do better for these young people. It is a step in the right direction": my comments for @ASCL_UK on SEND funding: https://t.co/HzIeDYRPs1
