Who’s telling the truth about school funding?
Back in February The Guardian published a video investigation about the government’s insistence that school spending is at record levels – a message which has been repeated over and over during 2019.

This has led to unprecedented numbers of headteachers and other senior school staff speaking out publicly about what they perceive to be a crisis.
