Headteacher under fire for Labour letterpublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 6 June 2017

BBC Local LiveA headteacher has been criticised for writing an open letter urging people to vote Labour in the general election.
Sally Pearce, from Seeley Primary and Nursery School in Nottingham, said she was anxious about cuts to the education system.
Image source, Google images"We face a future of unprecedented cuts and it's going to have a devastating affect if we don't act now and change the course of where it is heading," she wrote in a letter distributed in Nottingham by Labour.
The National Union of Teachers (NUT) said staff have the right to speak out, but former teacher Jane Cook said they should remain impartial and unbiased.
Mrs Cook said: "I fail to see how she [Sally Pearce] can do that when she sent letters out to parents telling them how to vote in an election."
Labour's manifesto pledges a £25bn package for education, while the Conservatives have said they would increase the overall schools budget by £4bn by 2022 and promised that no school will have its budget cut as a result of a new funding formula.
Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats have said they will invest an extra £5.8bn for school budgets.
