![Graphic from the Education Policy Institute. On the far left is a large teal opening quotation mark. Beneath it is a black-and-white head-and-shoulders photo of Natalie Perera outlined with a teal circle; her name and title, “Chief Executive,” appear in bold black and teal text below the photo.
To the right, in large black font, are four paragraphs of her quotation:
“Today’s announcement signals a significant cash increase in school funding. However, given that the overall budget is rising by £4.7 bn in cash terms only by 2028-29, once inflation is considered, this increase leaves less flexibility for schools than they might have hoped.”
“[…] The government must consider how funding is targeted, ensuring it reaches the schools and pupils who need it most.”
“The most pressing challenge is the crisis in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision and today’s settlement doesn’t appear to leave adequate funding to deliver the much-needed reforms in this area […]”
“[…] The Government must prioritise publishing a child-poverty strategy and this should include funded commitments, including removing the two-child benefit cap, that will genuinely lift children out of poverty.”
A dark navy vertical bar runs down the right edge; at its top is the Education Policy Institute logo, and at the bottom is an oversized white closing quotation mark.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t2ylcyj4rfbzxutepimowxkl/bafkreid6vbq2eje5o7ofgkloiesgjbhtxsygzjb4ivophyi5d5kklhopri)
