Heads to appeal to Chancellor for cash

A letter endorsed by 5,000 schools, including those in East and West Sussex, will be presented to Philip Hammond tomorrow (November 14).

Banding together under the WorthLess? campaign, the heads will tell Mr Hammond that the new National Funding Formula, introduced by secretary of state Justine Greening in September, had done "little to alleviate either the funding crisis and/or funding disparities that are engulfing schools across the country".
