Parliamentary briefing for MPs on the state of school funding

NAHT joined forces with other members of the School Cuts coalition to host a parliamentary briefing for MPs highlighting the state of school funding in England.

New research by the coalition shows that the vast majority of schools – 76% of primary schools and 94% of secondary schools – will not be able to afford their costs next year.

Almost 30 MPs took part in the event organised by the School Cuts coalition – run by NAHT, NEU, ASCL, NGA and Parentkind – at Westminster on Monday 10 March 2025, ahead of the spring statement by the chancellor on 26 March.

They heard presentations about the financial pressures that schools will face next year based on current funding rates. Tower Hamlets head teacher and NAHT branch secretary Lorraine Flanagan provided insight into the day-to-day financial difficulties that are faced by hard-pressed schools.

NAHT’s general secretary Paul Whiteman took part in a panel session where he answered questions from MPs about the funding situation faced by English schools.

Read our press release on the briefing.
