The new prime minister Liz Truss has promised a six-month energy “guarantee” for the public sector, as schools grapple with eye-watering rises in bills.
The announcement was welcomed by education leaders, amid widespread warnings soaring costs are unaffordable.
But few further details have been released and trust and school leaders say it does not go far enough. It remains to be seen how much of schools’ soaring costs will be covered in practice.
In a short speech to parliament today, Truss promised that a typical household will pay no more than £2,500 per year for two years from October.
