Earlier this year, I was speaking with some new headteachers about their experiences of their first year in post, and although there were lots of issues raised – from Ofsted and accountability, to staffing and managing strikes – one of the things they found most baffling was the funding system.

Let’s be honest, most people who trained to be teachers are interested in teaching and learning, not school finances!
