Rather than signing the petition please email me at antoinette.sandbach.mp@parliament.uk to be kept informed. This is a consultation on a new funding formula. For the last 18 months I have been part of the F40 group, which includes CWaC Council, calling for fairer funding for our local schools. Clearly the new formula is not right which is impacting on nearly all the schools locally.

I have arranged a meeting with the head of education from CWaC and the Minister on the 22 February and a local primary head and a secondary head will also be at the meeting, I wrote to the school to alert them of this issue, as I did with every headteacher in the constituency.

I am doing what I can to help, but the important factor is to find out what in the formula is having the impact locally.
