📉 Schools have lost £4.2bn in real terms since 2010.

Children and educators are paying the price with bigger classes, fewer teachers and less support.

It takes a community to raise a child — and the same community to demand the Government puts things right.

15 years. 10 Chancellors.

Since 2010, we have seen the financial health of our schools reach a critical level.

📉 Education spending as a share of GDP is at its lowest in 25 years.

The Government must provide funding that reflects the real costs schools face today.
