Funding

 
Funding icon.jpg

Schools are at breaking point as funding is not keeping up with the expenditure schools face. The government’s funding commitment for schools is not adequate and equates to a real-terms cut in education spending. The situation is critical for schools, so NAHT is campaigning to:

Lobby the government to provide sufficient funding for the education of all pupils 

 

  • Support the School Cuts campaign
  • Lobby for provision of accessible and available health, social care and other therapeutic services to support pupils' educational progress and attainment
  • Lobby for sufficient funding for the High Needs block
  • Lobby for sufficient funding to support pupils with SEND in all mainstream schools
  • Lobby for more funding for early years education; including specific funding to stabilise and protect the maintained nursery school sector
  • Support the Raise the Rate campaign to ensure sufficient funding for students in sixth form / FE / KS5 education
  • Maximise the funding for pupil premium for schools through auto enrolment
  • Press the government to provide appropriate support to schools for financial planning and resource management
  • Develop a better understanding of the unique challenges facing small schools and lobby the government to ensure their long-term sustainability
  • Lobby government to introduce the hard funding formula

Lobby to ensure that schools have sufficient funds to provide a safe environment for pupils and staff

  • Press for the phased removal of asbestos from the school estate
  • Lobby the DfE to secure sufficient capital funding and restoration of the school estate where required
  • Press the government to ensure that health and safety regulations maintain the highest standard of safety within schools
  • Lobby the DfE to support members to effectively manage the school estate

School leaders in Wales: sign a letter to the chancellor calling for action on school funding

NAHT Cymru continues to call for sufficient, equitable and transparent school funding in Wales. Welsh government and the 22 local authorities have an opportunity to address some of the issues - and we will continue our campaign in Wales to improve matters. However, the level of funding allocated by the UK Treasury and sent into Wales via the Barnett Formula is simply not enough.

School leaders from Wales have come together to write a letter to the chancellor explaining how the current school funding crisis is impacting on their schools.

We are calling on all head teachers and chairs of governors in the 22 local authorities in Wales to add their name to the letter, to show the Chancellor the strength of feeling across the nation.

Arweinwyr ysgolion yng Nghymru: arwyddwch lythyr at y Canghellor yn galw am weithredu ar gyllido ysgolion.
 

'Y Cyfle Olaf' 

Mae NAHT Cymru’n parhau i alw am gyllido digonol, cyfiawn a thryloyw ar gyfer ysgolion yng Nghymru. Mae gan Lywodraeth Cymru a’r 22 o awdurdodau lleol gyfle i fynd i’r afael â rhai o’r materion hyn -  a byddwn yn parhau â’n hymgyrch yng Nghymru i wella’r sefyllfa. Serch hynny, nid yw lefel y cyllido a ddyrennir gan Drysorlys y DU, ac a anfonir i Gymru drwy Fformiwla Barnett, yn ddigon o bell ffordd.

Mae arweinwyr ysgolion yng Nghymru wedi dod at ei gilydd i ysgrifennu llythyr at y Canghellor yn egluro sut mae'r argyfwng cyllido presennol mewn ysgolion yn effeithio ar eu hysgolion nhw.

Rydym yn galw ar bob pennaeth a chadeirydd llywodraethwyr yn y 22 awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru i ychwanegu eu henwau at y llythyr, i ddangos i'r Canghellor beth yw cryfder y teimlad ar draws y wlad.

Cliciwch yma am fwy o wybodaeth ac i ychwanegu eich enw at y llythyr.
