Herefordshire is the third-lowest funded local authority in England for education and the gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ continues to widen. Herefordshire receives £3,830.40 per pupil.. That’s £387.31 less than the national average. The education of children and young people in our county is being affected by the low level of funding schools receive from central government. We think this is unfair. We want this to change.
We, the undersigned, call for The Department of Children, Schools and Families to give local pupils the same funding as the national average. We further call for rural sparsity to be included as a factor in the new funding formula.”

I have neither children nor grandchildren… but feel we should ALL be supporting this cause……children are our future…. their education is vital…. and our local schools do such good work.
