SCHOOLS in Ryedale will benefit from an extra £7.1m awarded to North Yorkshire County Council by the Government.
However, Anne McIntosh MP for Thirsk, Malton and Filey, has written to schools asking them to respond to the Government’s consultation on “Fairer Schools Funding in 2015”.
She said: “Many colleagues have campaigned alongside their local education authority such as North Yorkshire County Council, for a fairer funding formula for the worst funded areas. I am delighted the Government has admitted the existing funding formula is unfair. I am urging all the schools to take part in the consultation.”
