Hello!
I hope you've had a great summer and had the opportunity to recharge your batteries.
There has been mixed news about education over the summer with the promise of extra funding for schools, a huge victory for our campaign over funding cuts over the last several years.
However, this extra funding won't be enough to make up for the losses caused over the last decade by funding cuts, not matching the increased pensions costs and above all the huge expense of creating and maintaining the academisation system, so we have a lot to do!
