Dear?John,

Schools might be back this week, but the Government are still failing the grade on funding.

Their latest announcement doesn't get full marks -- it will only see more funding go into schools next year.

That isn't good enough. Teachers are struggling to buy basic supplies now and support staff are being made redundant to save money.

Our schools need proper funding now more than ever. Do you agree, John? Then add your voice to our campaign:

With more of this money going to schools in wealthier areas (and areas that have Tory MPs!), schools with more disadvantaged children will keep struggling to cover their costs.

We need an emergency cash boost this year to reverse the Tories' cuts and far more support for Special Educational Needs and Disability education as well.

We can't let our children down for another year.

Best wishes,

Tom Brake MP
Lib Dem MP for Carshalton & Wallington
