Local Liberal Democrats and local campaigner Bob Sullivan are fighting against school funding cuts in Waltham Forest. Since 2015 £31.5 million has been cut from Waltham Forest school budgets.  Our local schools Riverley, Willowbrook, St Josephs, George Mitchell, and Leytonstone continue to lose £1,328,833 between them.  It is no surprise that schools are having to cut back.

Focus team member Bob Sullivan said, “This is crazy.  Education must be a top priority and these cuts are putting our children’s future at risk.  As a result of the Government cuts schools continue to consider drastic budget reductions such as reducing the number of teachers and, would you believe it, even introducing a four-day week.”

Bob and the Lib Dems are calling on the new Government to reverse the cuts to schools funding as a matter of urgency.  Unfortunatly Boris Johnsons latest funding announcement fails to reverse the cuts schools have suffered since 2015.  We need to keep up the pressure, will you join us?  Please sign our petition on-line at:  http://www.walthamforestlibdems.org/save_our_schools
