Petition Increase funding for schools in poorly funded areas

The most poorly funded areas in England receive about 1.9 million less than the best. Highest funded receive approx £6,297. Wokingham receives UK's lowest at £4,158 per pupil. Fairer funding policy due 2017/18 may see highest funded grants reduced but no evidence of increased grants for Wokingham.
