A new report published by the National Audit Office (NAO) today, Friday, July 2, said since the introduction of a national funding formula for England there had been a “relative redistribution” of resources to schools in better-off areas.
In a new report today the Whitehall spending watchdog has revealed Government efforts to “level up” funding for education have resulted in cuts to the money going to the most deprived schools. Photo credit: PA
In contrast, it said, almost 60 per cent of the most deprived fifth of schools had seen a real terms reduction in Government funding since 2017-18.
Charities, education and business leaders in Yorkshire alongside national school union leaders, are urging Downing Street to prioritise the most vulnerable young people in the North, who even before the pandemic hit were not on an “even-playing field” with their peers in the South.

A total of 10 schools in Cambridgeshire will receive less money per pupil this year despite a Government promise that all schools in England would see their funding increase.
A PETITION has been launched by Yeovil Liberal Democrats asking to shelve schools restructure plans. The political party say Somerset County Council (SCC) has allowed the school funding crisis in Ilminster and Crewkerne to spiral out of control . The current plans were drawn up after years of debates between schools, academy trusts and Somerset County Council (SCC). One reason for this is that Wadham Upper School is in debt to the county council, expected to be at £1.8million by September 2022. By adding Year 7 and 8 provisions to the school, Wadham will provide a wider curriculum and so receive a better share of the available education funding.
