Head teachers across the UK are facing increasingly difficult funding decisions as new projections indicate that school funding will not keep up with rising costs in the coming years.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned that while school funding is expected to rise by 2.8% for 2025-26, the costs associated with education are projected to increase more significantly by 3.6%.
Marlborough St Mary's School exemplifies the struggle many schools face; they are compelled to find funding from their existing budget to support pupils like Thomas who requires additional assistance.
Mrs. Reader of Thomas highlights the dire situation, stating that it's "utterly insane" that schools lack adequate funding to support children with special educational needs effectively.
