Brighton and Hove schoolchildren '˜floss for funding'
Save Our Schools Brighton and Hove is a parent-led campaign launched in March last year to oppose austerity measures which it said would cut millions from Brighton and Hove’s school budget.
It has since campaigned for more school funding, with trips to Parliament and events such as the ‘arms around our schools’ day, where parents surrounded their schools in a symbolic act of protection.
