Wiltshire headteacher pens concerns over funding to parents

Tim Gilson, the head at Malmesbury School says changes in government funding will leave them considerably worse off.

The school building itself is costing more, but its owned and controlled by a private finance company which is increasing its fees.

Wiltshire's Conservative MPs have long campaigned for changes to the funding formula for schools which left Wiltshire and Swindon worse off.

Schools Minister Nick Gibb is due to visit two secondary schools in Swindon later today - following the criticism the town's education system faced from inspectors last year, in which OFSTED described schools as "failing" children at every stage.
