KEEPING IT GOING

 In my last post I mentioned how times have changed. However, as the French would say

“la plus ca change, la plus c’est la meme chose”

Progress can be a double-edged sword.

We are all familiar with the phrase “one step forward and two steps back”

Okay, enough of the idioms, now to the point.

The average per-pupil funding in schools for 2023-24 was £7,460. For 2024-25 it is expected to rise by a little over 3%.

How does this compare with increased Government spending in other areas?

 Not too well I think you will find.

What it does mean is that with limited budgets, every pound has to be spent wisely.

So, this is where Aesop’s Touring Theatre Company comes in with our moto

“THE KIDS COME FIRST”

When a school says they cannot afford us, we endeavour to meet their budget, no matter how tight that may be.

Theatre in Education is as important today as it was 20 years ago when we were struggling to fit all the bookings in a school year of less than 200 days.

Maybe, just maybe, those halcyon days will return.

But, until then, we are only a call or an email away.

Allow me to whet your appetite with some of these.
