School in Theresa May’s constituency seeks £1 for pens
A primary school in Prime Minister Theresa May’s constituency has asked parents for a £1 daily donation to help pay for stationery and books.
Robert Piggott CofE School in Wargrave, Berkshire, said the plea comes after “national changes to school funding”.
Labour said this showed “Tory cuts” were “hitting schools badly”.
Education minister Nick Gibb said the school is set to gain around £10K a year in extra cash from 2018 under the new National Funding Formula.
The school, which according to the most recent figures has 311 pupils, is in the Maidenhead constituency represented by Mrs May since 1997.
