The campaign for fairer school funding

[f40 @f40campaign]

The time for reform and investment in education is now.

The education of our most valuable asset – children – should be a key priority for any Government. We must revolutionise our education system to help solve the crisis in SEND.
Read our key asks.

The NAO report on SEND mirrors many of our concerns. We're calling for major reform and investment, alongside fairer funding for schools and special educational needs to help solve the crisis and ensure all children can access the same opportunities.

🚨The special needs system is on the brink of collapse. The government's spending watchdog will publish its own likely damning investigation this week

But we’ve been chronicling the collapse for years. And I just want to set out how seriously bad things are … (mega 🧵)

[f40 @f40campaign]

MPs told SEND system is in crisis and failing children, families and councils.

Reform and investment required after young people, parents, education settings and councils agree system is irreparably “broken”.

Fascinating @F40campaign MP briefing today re #SEND 51% of councils 'bankrupt' without statutory override but BCP is at cliff edge-not due of local issues but systemic failure which doesn't work for anyone-LAs, schools, parents & most importantly children
Govt must act now

[f40 @f40campaign]

A good day in Parliament with @HouseofCommons instructing a review of SEND funding should take place after a 3-hour debate on the crisis. 28 backbench MPs spoke, led by @DavidDavisMP, about lack of funding/resources, followed by Shadow @helenhayes_ and Minister David Johnston.

[f40 @f40campaign]

Members of @f40campaign are in Parliament to listen to the debate around the crisis in special educational needs funding and provision, secured by @DavidDavisMP
f40 has calculated £4.6bn more funding and major change is required to meet the current need in SEND.
@East_Riding

[f40 @f40campaign]

MPs will debate the crisis in special educational needs in @HouseofCommons on Thursday (Jan 11). @DavidDavisMP has secured the debate and is working with f40 to encourage MPs to speak. Members need to register their interest by close of play on Wednesday.

f40 Vice Chair @garystreeterSWD talking in @SchoolsWeek about why the SEND system needs £4.6bn extra funding and reform now.

"When we have a situation where most local authorities in England have a High Needs deficit, some in excess of £100m, we clearly have a problem."

[Schools Week @SchoolsWeek]

'£4.6 billion may appear to be a startling amount, but it does not take into consideration any future growth'

💰 Government must urgently deliver £4.6 billion extra for SEND | @garystreeterSWD

[f40 @f40campaign]

A good day in Westminster meeting Children's Minister David Johnston MP and Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson MP, talking about the crisis in special educational needs and how £4.6bn extra funding is needed to meet SEND demand, along with the need for fairer funding.

[f40 @f40campaign]

MPs urge the Chancellor to invest in Special Educational Needs after latest figures show £4.6bn extra baseline funding is required to meet demand.

[f40 @f40campaign]

Today we have written to the Prime Minister urging him to make education and SEND a priority by increasing budgets and making funding fairer.

Schools have cut back all they can. For those lowest funded schools, the challenges are exacerbated.

f40 is calling on Gov and the new PM to make education and SEND a priority. We have written to Gov stating schools and SEND have not been given the attention they desperately need and many are struggling. Education needs fair and increased funding now. https://t.co/tOUobCsX4d

[f40 @f40campaign]

We have been talking all things education funding in the House of Commons at an MPs' briefing, sharing our concerns around fairness, the need for more funding, and the crisis in SEND. We need to invest in our children - regardless of where they live.

[f40 @f40campaign]

We will be sharing our concerns around education funding, including fairness, the need for increased funding and the crisis in SEND, in a briefing for MPs in Committee Room 10 in the House of Commons today (July 5) from 5.45pm. We hope to see many Members there.

Per pupil funding in the #Yeovil constituency has lagged behind the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 avg for years. It’s an issue right across #Somerset

⏰ It’s time to demand a fair funding deal for our children. Somerset has been an f40 authority for far too long @f40campaign

[f40 @f40campaign]

We're delighted to welcome former teacher and education campaigner @EmmaHardyMP to f40 as our Labour Vice Chair. Like us, Ms Hardy believes every child should have access to the same resources and funding, regardless of where they live.
