The autumn budget was delivered on Wednesday (November 22) shortly after this edition of SecEd went to press.
The aim of the campaign was to “send a clear message” to the chancellor about the “chronic underfunding” of the country’s schools.
It was carried out by campaign group Save our Schools last Thursday (November 16) and began with the lighting up of the Science Museum and ended with the “Save our Schools” message being projected onto the Houses of Parliament.
Save Our Schools is run by a group of working mothers who first began their campaign work in Brighton and Hove.
The group is being supported by, among others, the National Education Union, a number of MPs, and actor and comedian Steve Coogan, who was at the Science Museum to witness the first projection.
