NEW figures reveal schools across Barnsley will be more than £9m worse off by 2020 than they were in 2015, the NUT teaching union has warned.
In January it was revealed government funding policy for schools nationally would mean across Barnsley schools would lose more than £6m, but the latest updated information paints an even bleaker picture.
The website schoolcuts.org.uk shows Barnsley schools will be £9,209,323 worse off by 2019/20 than they were in 2015/16.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
