What’s happened to the school that made you?

Make your School Cuts Trading Card 🃏
Take a trip down memory lane by making a School Cuts trading card. Use our digital tool to create a personalised card accompanied by the latest School Cuts figures for your school.
Here’s how to make your own trading card:
- Add your postcode and find your school.
- Add photos to personalise your card.
- Download your card as a photo (on mobile: long-press to save to photos, not files).
- Share your card with friends and see how your schools compare.
Our trading cards are a great opportunity to start a conversation about cuts to education funding with other parents or teachers who might not be aware of them.
This is how we make school cuts personal.
At the Labour Party Conference, School Cuts activists showed delegates how much cabinet ministers’ schools had lost since 2010.
People couldn’t believe how much our schools have lost in 16 years.



Making your card is an important way to stand by your old school, and to stand up for the future of education. These places, and the people that make them, have been let down for too long.
The depth of school cuts is shocking. 1,323 schools have lost more than £1,000,000 since 2010 – is yours one of them?
Share your school cuts story with your friends, your neighbours, that classmate you haven’t seen for 20 years: everyone needs to hear what’s happened to the schools that made us who we are.
We won’t let properly funded education be a thing of the past.

I’ve just looked up the cuts for my school and I can’t believe how much has been slashed from the budget since 2010. I’m attaching a card I made and downloaded using the School Cuts website.
