MP calls for fairer funding for county schools

by Kevin

A Gloucestershire MP is calling on the government to make school funding "fairer", with pupils in the county receiving up to £1,000 less each year compared to other parts of England.

Cameron Thomas, the Liberal Democrat MP for Tewkesbury, held a debate at Westminster Hall on Tuesday where he highlighted the discrepancy.

He said teachers in the county and across England are "on the front line of a genuine crisis to which they have been given no real answers".

The Department for Education (DfE) said it will review the way school funding is calculated ahead of the 2026/27 academic year.
