What recent assessment her Department has made of the impact of inflation on (a) school budgets and (b) the costs to parents associated with the school day.
Schools, like families and businesses across the world, are facing global inflationary pressures. The Prime Minister
has pledged to halve inflation, and school funding will increase by £2 billion next year as well as the year after that.

In 2010, school funding stood at £35 billion, so we will be delivering a 68% increase in cash terms. The Government have also announced further support for parents worth £26 billion next year.
