Arms Around Our Schools

Rescue Our Schools supported the brilliant Arms Around Our Schools initiative – which is the brainchild of Brighton-based group Save Our Schools. Our picture shows children from Yerbury school in Islington in North London getting behind the event. Across England families linked arms in a symbolic gesture to protect their schools against funding cuts. 88 per cent of schools still face cuts, despite the government reallocating some Department for Education money to schools’ budgets.
