Parents and pupils in Myatt’s Fields have been on the end of cuts of more than £2 million since 2010, according to a new campaign launched by teachers’ leaders.

The shocking figures are contained in a new analysis of education funding since the Tories, aided by their Lib Dem allies, came to power in 2010. It reveals that:

• Christ Church Primary School on Cancell Road has had its budget reduced by £276,710 since 2010, a drop of £1,520 per pupil.
• Van Gogh Primary School has had its budget cut by £416,487, with a reduction of £1,281 per pupil.
• St Gabriel’s College has lost a staggering £1.7million from its a budget, over £2,700 per pupil.
• Overall, schools in Lambeth have lost over £41 million in funding since the Tories began slashing budgets.

Local councillors Paul Gadsby and Annie Gallop said:

“These cuts lay bare the awful impact of more than a decade of Tory austerity: cut after cut has had a direct impact on the education of local children.

“We will continue to campaign for a better deal for our local schools, and for a Labour government that properly funds our local schools.”
