Like many heads, debbie has been struggling with a tight budget for years. And were going to look at respecting resources. But now things are worse than ever. Now, what sort of things do you think might be called resources in school . Yes . Books . Books, 0k. Books, sharpener pots, so youve got some ideas. The new budget came out in april and all of a sudden theres a huge deficit. Its really devastating. Devastating. School funding cuts in england mean debbie will have to lose some of her 66 staff.
