'Small rural schools with low free school meals will not get much extra, and if they have falling pupil rolls and are with a deficit budget they will struggle...'
Small rural schools offer a unique educational experience in the state sector. Small classes ensure quality teaching time and spacious outside facilties help pupils realise that there is more to life than watching TV or playing computer games. Staff have time to get to know the pupils throughout their primary years and parents often feel more involved because of the smaller community and ease of staff access. Is it a good thing to ease these schools out of existence due to lack of funds? Any solutions thoughts, ideas.??
