@JackLopresti @SavageToby1 @LukeHall @CSkidmoreUK @NickGibbUK Disappointed concerned parents weren’t about to voice concerns but not surprised. Your lack of dialogue brings shame on you. @fairfundschools @FairFundsBrum @fairfundingmanc @FairFundingWoky @AnnabelWoky

Just back from a school funding protest walk at my son's school. At a time when technology is transforming jobs and the economy, the reduction in school funding per pupil is a disgraceful failure of government. theurbantechnologist.com/201… #Floss4Funding #ParentsTeachersUnite

UK has worst social mobility in the developed world according to @OECD; & @TheIFS says there’s a £5 billion shortfall in funds for the schools who try to address it. For Government to suggest a few £million will fix the problem is a disgraceful dishonesty. theguardian.com/education/20…

So @PhilipHammondUK admits that UK productivity is low & flat but does nothing to address the funding crisis in the schools that provide the education that could fix it. #Budget2017 #Fail #SchoolsJustWannaHaveFunds bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-4…

Smoke and mirrors. £6.9bn is being slashed from school funding up to 2020. Over £11bn by 2022. teapawt.net/rob_kelsall/status/887… – at Cannock, England
Nothing to see here. @JustineGreening announcement will continue to see per pupil funding slashed c/o @andrewbaisley stats.
