Bills unpaid and redundancies planned: tell us your stories of the cuts to education spending

George Osborne’s spending review in less than a fortnight looms large over the entire public sector.

Some government departments are facing vast cuts to their budgets, with at least a couple looking at 40 per cent being sliced away.

It won’t be as drastic in education because the per-pupil funding for 5-16-year-olds is ring-fenced, but all other areas of government spending are staring down a very scary barrel.

Early years, post-16 and other peripheral budgets are set to get one major haircut.
With local government spending being savaged and even the supposedly secure per-pupil money being non-inflationary, schools are already beginning to really feel the pinch.

Bills are going unpaid and redundancies planned.

We want to collect and curate your stories of school life at the business end of the austerity cuts.
