The proportion of headteachers reporting cuts to school trips due to funding issues has more than doubled since last year, a new poll shows.
The survey, conducted by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) for the Sutton Trust, also shows steep rises in schools cutting back on teaching assistants and IT equipment.
Responses from 1,428 primary and secondary teachers last month show 50 per cent of senior leaders said their school had to cut back on trips and outings during the current academic year.
In last year‘s Teacher Voices Omnibus Survey, 21 per cent of leaders gave the same answer.
