Schools have been ‘cut to the bone’ by funding cuts, the head teachers union has said.
Nine out of 10 schools will have run out of money by the next school year due to the cost-of-living crisis, the National Association of Head Teachers is warning the Government.
The peak body for school leaders pointed to forecasts which currently predict a £2bn shortfall by 2024, calling the situation “desperate”, according to the BBC.It came as early data from the National Association of Head Teachers ’s survey which was supplied to the Observer had 50% of school leaders saying their school would be in deficit this year.
Earlier this week Mr Whiteman told the Trades Union Congress conference that he has “never heard more anger and despair” from school leaders as NAHT held a national ballot for industrial action over pay for the first time, after only previously holding regional votes on the issue.Mr Whiteman said headteachers have lost around 24% on the value of their salary since 2010, with education funding set to be 3% less in real terms in 2024/2025 than it was in 2010.
He said that “spiralling energy bills”, inflation and lack of funding for teachers’ pay mean thousands of schools believe they are heading for a deficit.
