School budget cuts would be a “disaster”, headteachers have warned, after the chancellor told government departments to “redouble their efforts to find savings”, warning that “difficult decisions” lie ahead.
The NAHT school leaders’ union said its members would “rightly fear” a suggestion from Jeremy Hunt that further savings will need to be found.
The new chancellor warned this morning that “all departments will need to redouble their efforts to find savings, and some areas of spending will need to be cut”.
This is despite the government having U-turned on almost every measure set out in its mini-budget less than three weeks ago.
