"In the whole of London, we're expecting primary school pupil numbers to fall by another 52,000 by 2028. The national picture is pupil numbers at primary have been falling, more so in London than the rest of England, but pupil numbers at secondary have been rising in almost all local authorities in England."
"With the falling numbers of pupils, given that funding is predominantly allocated to schools based on the number of pupils they have, that means budgets are likely to fall in many schools over the coming period."
"Given that many of the costs that schools face are fixed, a teacher still has to be paid for, that classroom still has to be heated, it means we could be seeing particularly squeezed budgets."
