School funding gap 'catastrophic'. Head teachers say 17% of schools in England face a "catastrophic" funding situation this year. [BBC News | Front Page | UK Edition]
The government says schools got £2.7bn more this year and had £250m more than they needed to cope with the higher staffing costs.
So 90% of the funding increase has gone on higher staffing costs, which leaves 10% of the increase to cover all the other increased costs - no wonder they are in trouble.
