DISADVANTAGED children in Harlow are likely to be hit hardest by Government changes to school funding, according to a new School Cuts interactive website from the National Union of Teachers (NUT).

The NUT and the ATL are calling on the Government to take immediate action to inject much needed money into the system and protect schools from rising costs.

According to the website, Harlow schools may face cuts that could see 150 teachers being made redundant.

Stewards Academy may face over one million pounds worth of cuts and lose up to 27 teaching posts.

2016 budget: £6,514,000
Estimated 2020 budget in real terms: £5,485,475
Change in annual budget by 2020: -£1,028,525

An industry expert told YT “Because of the high needs funding that some schools have historically received and due to the number of students with additional needs, many have been cushioned by the minimum funding guarantee that the govt is removing in 2020.

“I would say (and really hope this is true) that it is overly pessimistic but even if it is showing double the final amount of cuts (which I doubt it is that wrong) it is potentially disastrous”.

According to the website, Harlow schools could face the following cuts.

Passmores: 963,674
