    Head teachers are usually known for getting people to stay in line, but Jules White has become a relentless rebel over school funding.

    The Horsham head teacher has co-ordinated a letter warning of school cash shortages, which will reach 2.5 million homes on Thursday.

    This direct line to parents' kitchen tables has put MPs under pressure.

    And Mr White, along with 4,000 other heads sending the letter, won't stop until they get £1bn extra funding.

    The head teacher of Tanbridge House school, in West Sussex, has formed a formidable lobbying operation over what he says is an unresolved crisis in school funding in England.

    "It causes enormous anxiety and stress, trying to see how your school can run to the standards everyone expects," says Mr White.

    "The system is under massive duress."

    He distils this into two basic issues: "Not enough money, not enough teachers."

    You can read the full story here.

    Has your child's school been affected by a cash shortage? You can get in touch on Twitter, external, on Facebook, external or by sending us an email.
