Nearly half of senior school leaders told a survey the increased cost of living has damaged the quality of teaching and learning.
The majority of primary schools in England are asking for more contributions from parents due to rising financial pressures, a report has suggested.
The National Foundation for Educational Research report suggested schools are expecting their financial situations to worsen over the coming year, which will “intensify” the cuts further. The report, conducted in collaboration with Ask Research and funded by the Nuffield Foundation, suggested most schools have made cuts to provision in response to rising cost-of-living pressures.
Report co-author Jenna Julius, NFER research director, said: “In the short term, schools need greater financial support to help meet the additional direct expenses associated with the increased cost of living such as energy and school meal bills. Julia Harnden, funding specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders , said: “Many schools face the prospect of having to make further savings. While they strive to minimise the effect on pupils, this inevitably has a negative impact on learning and the additional support they are able to provide to children with special educational needs.
