School funding in England

‘I have just chaired a meeting of the Cabinet where we agreed that the government should call a general election to be held on the 8th June. I want to explain the reasons for that decision, what will happen next, and the choice facing the British people when you come to vote in this election.

With permission, I would like to make a statement on the second-stage consultation on the Government’s proposals to create a national funding formula for schools, copies of which can be found on the gov.uk website.

This is an Autumn Statement that provides a stable economic platform as the UK leaves the EU, setting out how we will support our economy as we begin writing this new chapter in our country’s history.
