Rejected petition Support Our Schools: review inadequate schools funding increase

Although the government has increased funding to schools we believe the increase is inadequate and we ask that it be reviewed. Any increase should reflect rising costs so that UK schools can continue providing the exceptional quality of education that our children deserve.

More details

UK schools are currently facing an enormous challenge. Although the government tells us that school funding is at record levels the reality is that pupil costs and numbers are both rising. Despite their best efforts schools are considering:

• Increasing class sizes
• Reducing courses
• Cutting extra-curricular activities
• Reducing pastoral care and removing counselling support
• Reducing training for teachers
• Reducing support staff to work with children with additional needs
