Big story from @lydiach.bsky.social - buried in Treasury documents, the government confirms it intends to allocate disadvantage funding to schools based on income data, not free school meals eligibility. It follows criticism that FSM is a poor proxy for poverty

All kids deserve the best start in life. No matter how many brothers and sisters they have, or what jobs their parents have, or if someone in their household has a disability. They all deserve a good childhood – not just because it will set them up for a stronger future, but because they’re kids.
