Fairer Funding for Shropshire schools

Daniel questions The Chancellor of the Exchequer about funding for rural schools, specifically on the differences in funding between urban and rural schools. 

Today Daniel was proud to sign a letter from 'Raise the Rate' encouraging the Chancellor of the Exchequer to increase funding for 16-18 year olds across the country. 

Recently Daniel signed the F40 letter calling for improved local education funding. 

Today, following many months of campaigning on this issue, Daniel received a letter from the Rt Hon Liz Truss regarding Shropshire and Shrewsbury School Funding. 

Today Daniel met with the Chief Secretary to the Treasury to discuss need for parity in school funding across our country. He stressed that need to work towards ensuring that all children receive the same amount of funding regardless of where they live.

Fairer pupil funding is something I have been fighting for for a long time. It is completely unacceptable that pupils in London can receive over £8,000 per head while pupils in, mainly rural areas such as Shropshire, receive nearly half that.
