This is my 3rd year organising the ride but this time I’m raising it for Bramhall High. This year I’ve had less time to get the rides in so my fitness isn’t quite as good as I want it to be.

It’s a much longer ride than before by over 15miles and the weather looks like it will be a lot wetter so please think of us on Saturday the 22nd.

Please give generously, the Bramhall high PTA has only just recently been pieced back together again after virtually all the parents who organised stuff left, leaving no events or money being raised. That’s changing and we want to get parents, friends and relatives involved again.

Schools are facing cuts that is affecting our children's education. Between 200910 and 201920, spending per pupil in England fell by 9 per cent in real terms. The government set out additional funding in the 2019 spending round and 2021 spending review and said that this would restore spending per pupil back to 2010 levels in 2024-25 based on inflation measured by the GDP deflator.

IFS now estimate that costs faced by schools will increase faster than rates of funding, this includes the increased cost of teacher and support staff pay. They estimate an increase between 2019-20 and 2024-25 of around 20 per cent above the expected growth in the GDP deflator which will mean that per pupil funding will remain 3 per cent below the 2009-2010 level.

Please give generously to keep and improve the resources that are vital for our children's education.
