Headteachers' survey reveals ‘tsunami’ of problems hitting primary schools
A “TSUNAMI” of problems and a “cost-of-learning” crisis have been revealed in a survey of primary school headteachers in West Yorkshire.
The heads reported children from different years having to be taught together, overwhelmed staff, cuts to help for children with special needs and soaring food and energy bills hitting other parts of school budgets.
The survey of 84 primary schools was carried out by the Calderdale Against School Cuts campaign (CASC).
