Aha! Now the fight to get fair funding for Haringey schoolchildren is getting the support of teaching unions in Haringey. Everyone in Haringey recognises the injustice of us having to pay inner London teacher salaries but only receiving outer London per pupil funding. The differential is stark. Our kids get £1,183 less than children in Camden, Hackney or Islington.

I was able to raise this issue again on the floor of the House last Thursday. One day we will get it through to the Government that this is just not fair. Our schools are struggling terribly with their budgets – and if ‘every child matters’ how come our children don’t matter as much as them next door?
