🚨 Education MUST work for all children. But if we want any SEND reforms to be successful, they must be properly funded.

SEND support can change lives – Hannah’s story is a testament to that. And that can only happen with properly funded schools.

🌟 “Every child deserves that chance.” Falling behind isn’t inevitable. Every child should be able to access the support they need to thrive, flourish and succeed at school. That can only happen if schools are properly funded.

Great to meet with headteachers from across Merseyside to talk about the reality of school budgets. Staffing pressures, rising pastoral needs, SEND costs are just some of the issues hitting classrooms hard. Our schools cannot keep absorbing these pressures alone. #StopSchoolCuts

Last week, Liverpool headteachers met with @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social to discuss the urgent realities they face. Kim is listening to these local heroes so she can take their voices straight to Parliament. It’s time the Government gives schools the funding they need to not just survive — but thrive.

📍Liverpool. A room full of headteachers telling it as it is. Budgets shrinking, expectations climbing. Barely enough to keep things running. What stood out? Solidarity and energy to keep demanding better for our students. Thanks to the MPs who joined us: @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social and Ian Byrne 🙌

School cuts hurt everyone.

✂️What happens when 1,180 schools across the country have lost more than £1 million each? That’s the equivalent of losing: 8,260 teachers and 10,620 support staff and The cost of 248,000 laptops How much has your school lost?

🗞️ Have you seen the news? After the Spring Statement, school budgets are still running on empty. We’re calling on the Government to stop school cuts. Headteachers are speaking out against school cuts. Join them here: bit.ly/co-sign-the-...

🚨The Spring Statement is next week The Government's proposed funding for SEND reform doesn’t even cover the cost of a single teacher per school. We’re not accepting ambition without funding. Write to your MP - ask them to tell the Chancellor to fully fund all SEND reforms: bit.ly/send-reform-mp

Higher expectations without the resources mean one thing: more cuts.

“It’s a shameful position to be in.” 🤔 What do you think of the chart?

2️⃣ Two weeks until the Spring Statement. We’re making noise in Birmingham and Essex, the two local authorities worst-hit by school cuts.

SEND support goes beyond the classroom: it’s about giving pupils a chance to succeed.

It’s simple: SEND provision needs to be fully funded.

❕ “We cannot allow another generation of young people to miss out on opportunities to learn, thrive and achieve.” Reforms to the SEND system are desperately needed. But if these reforms are not fully-funded, they are doomed to fail. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

🍭Headteacher by day, lollipop person… by day, too. With funding cuts, school staff have to wear many hats. Our educators deserve better. #StopSchoolCuts

🙅‍♀️ Spoiler: in this game, everyone is losing.

“At a time of rising pupil need and record class sizes in both primary and secondary schools, government should embrace the opportunity to cut class sizes and improve education quality.” www.theguardian.com/education/20...

❗ The SEND system is “on its knees". 📰 Read the full story on BBC here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🎬 “We can’t do it without funding.” These educators are trying to ensure that children with special educational needs have a fair chance at school, and at life. But without adequate funding, SEN support in schools is under threat. 👉 WATCH NOW: youtu.be/Og38Y_oq49s

Quality education is a human right. 📚 On #InternationalDayOfEducation, we are asking a simple question: Why are schools being asked to do more with less?

⚠️ The future of our students with SEN needs 🎬 Full film coming next week Three educators on the frontlines speak out on government cuts and the impact on support provision for students with SEN.

🚨 “Schools are running on empty. Chronic underfunding means fewer teaching assistants and larger classes.”

❗For children with SEN, interventions at school can be life-saving. But school cuts mean that support is at risk. And that threatens the future of children across the country.

This one’s for you. The teachers, school staff, and heads who always put in 100% to deliver for students. The parents and caretakers, demanding better for their children. This year, we have accomplished so much together. Thank you.

🤔 Action on school cuts: not found. At every stage. For every child. We're calling on properly funded schools and an end to cuts all across England -- so every child can meet their potential.

🎁 We have one wish this festive season: proper funding for our schools. And we need your help to make that a reality.

😥 Scrambling for money to buy paper, scissors and glue. 💻 Slow internet and lack of computers. Those are just some of the challenges teachers have to face with school cuts. 💬Let’s talk about funding cuts: what impacts have you noticed?

⏰ School’s almost out! School Cuts activists in Poole are ending this year with a powerful statement, demanding more funding for our students. Our movement stands up for education in sun, rain, or snow.

🗺️ Is your town on the map? 96,000+ leaflets have gone out across England, highlighting the impact of school cuts from Lancashire to Kent, Oxford to Poole.

🎧 “That would mean real terms cuts in per pupil funding.” Former Chancellor George Osborne and Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls dig into the numbers behind Rachel Reeves’ budget – and if it delivered on the argument of growth for public services.

🥶 Come with us on a cold Saturday morning to leaflet in Corby, North Northamptonshire, where cuts have cost schools -£21.6 million since 2010.

⚠️ 146 out of 151 local authorities have less funding in real terms than in 2010.

📈 Cutting roles means fewer educators who are more stressed, burnt out, and overstretched. ✂️ Let’s call it what it is: a funding cut.

❄️ Last year, 45% of teachers said they work in severe to moderate cold conditions in the winter. Because of cuts, schools can’t afford to fix or replace broken boilers. It means that students are learning in unmanageable temperatures, with coats and gloves on.

Education is running on empty. Today's Budget has done nothing to improve this. With no plans to stop school cuts, roofs will continue to leak, teachers will keep paying for their own supplies, and heads will keep having to make impossible decisions in their budgets.

And so often it's schools and school staff who have to deal with these effects - at the same time as school budgets are slashed and schools are facing a crisis. @schoolcuts.bsky.social
