Hackney schools could be £20m worse off over the next three years.

Mayor Phillip Glanville and local Councillor Anntoinette Bramble have warned residents that this could have a huge impact on staffing and schools’ ability to deliver.

Councillor Anntoinette Bramble said: “There’s no doubt that adequate funding is absolutely critical to the success of a school, and Hackney is a testament to that. Just 15 years ago, we had some of the worst schools in the country, now we have some of the very best, and this short sighted funding formula threatens this incredible turn around.”

Mayor Glanville, and 24 other mayors and council leaders, have called on Prime Minister Theresa May to scrap the this proposed funding scheme.
