The nation’s schools have had to cope with years of cuts. Pupil numbers keep rising and there aren’t enough teachers or resources to support them. 88% of schools still face real terms budget cuts.

That’s why we’re going to the Mass Lobby Against School Cuts in Westminster on 24th October. Together, parents, heads, teachers and support staff will be lobbying MPs for a commitment to reverse school cuts and fully fund schools. We need all MPs to put pressure on the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, to commit additional funding for schools when he sets his budget this November.

Where and when?

We are travelling by train from Fratton at 7.54 to arrive at Waterloo by 9.23.

We will then go to the Emmanuel Centre for the rally at 10.00.

We are meeting the Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan at 11.30 in Westminster Hall.
