1 in 5 MPs have pledged to stop school cuts.

Politicians from every party have been promising to fix the school funding crisis for years. But from experience we know that there is often a wide gap between promises and reality.

That’s why at the 2019 General Election, we used our power to hold candidates standing for Parliament to account.

In the lead up to polling day, we gave every candidate a choice. They could commit to reversing school cuts, or compromise on our children’s education.  

In just a few weeks, the response to our calls was incredible. 

Over 13,000 people secured pledges from 884 Prospective Parliamentary Candidates. 

As a direct result of our efforts, 21% of MPs elected in the current Parliament have now committed to protect school funding and give every child a decent education.

Here’s how the MP pledges breakdown by party: 

Party	Number of MPs who pledged to reverse school cuts
Conservatives	2
Labour	129
Liberal Democrats	4
Green	1
Total	136 MPs

Each of these MPs has pledged to make sure school funding commitments:

1. Reverse cuts to per-pupil funding suffered since 2015 for every school
2. Consist of new money from the Treasury 
3. Restore funding to all ages and all needs, including early years, SEND and post-16
4. Provide a ten-year funding plan so schools can plan for the long-term
5. Address historic underfunding by levelling up all areas of the country
6. Fully fund new commitments such as pay rises and other new costs

So what happens next?

Politicians follow public opinion. Having cross-party support on the issue of school funding is an important first step. 

Now, we just need to hold these MPs to account on any school funding decisions they make.

This includes asking MPs to challenge the Prime Minister to keep his election promise to ‘level up’ school funding. The truth is, the funding this Government has pledged falls woefully short for 83% of schools this year.

Here’s what can you do right now to help get the word out:

1. Share this campaign with 5 people you know
2. Share the petition to pressure the Government to stop school cuts
3. Call your MP and ask them to raise school funding cuts with the Prime Minister
