The School Cuts campaign, which is being led by a number of trade unions, has updated its website to allow anyone to directly email each Parliamentary candidate challenging them on school funding.
The website was set up last year to highlight how the proposed National Funding Formula, rising pupil numbers and rising costs such as pension contributions and National Insurance will affect schools.
It came after the National Audit Office revealed that the Department for Education is expecting schools to make

The website’s analysis shows that schools face a real-terms cut in per-pupil funding averaging £470 by 2020 (£554 in secondaries, £403 in primaries).
