UK Schools Rake In Record £572 Million For Non-English Speaking Pupils Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Mass immigration is once again exposing the true cost to British taxpayers, with UK schools now receiving a record £572 million to support pupils who do not speak English as their first language. The bill has soared by £157 million since modern records began in 2020, according to Department for Education figures. This comes as the number of such pupils has climbed to 1.8 million – one in five children nationwide – up from 1.2 million a decade ago. As revealed in a Daily Mail report , two schools alone – one in Manchester and one in Northampton – each collected at least £500,000 this year for translators, bilingual teaching assistants and support materials. Manchester Academy topped the list with over £670,000. Schools are pocketing up to £700,000 each to teach pupils who don't speak English as their first language as bill hits all-time high of £572million https://t.co/4CqpGL8bOG — Daily Mail (@DailyMail) April 4, 2026 The funding is not ring-fenced and councils admit it can be spent on “almost anything” within a school’s overall budget. Nationwide, the average payout sits at around £27,418 per school, or roughly £320 per eligible pupil. This latest education bombshell ties directly into the wider crisis of unchecked migration straining every corner of British life. As we’ve highlighted, migrants are set to swallow 40% of all new UK homes by 2030 , based on Conservative analysis of Office for Budget Responsibility projections. With net migration forecast at 1.2 million between 2026 and 2030, around 500,000 extra homes will be needed just to house new arrivals – equating to nearly four in ten of all projected builds. And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to taxpayer exploitation. A whopping 1.3 million migrants are on Universal Credit, with over half unemployed – directly contradicting years of claims that immigration delivers a net econo...

Morning, I’m Louise Moon from Bloomberg UK’s breaking news team, bringing you up to speed on today’s top business stories. Stocks are rallying after the US and Iran agreed a two-week ceasefire just hours before President Donald Trump’s deadline. The de-escalation — even if it proves temporary — is all anyone is focused on. The FTSE 100 gained as much as 3%, and the FTSE 250 as much as 3.8%. For both, that’s the most since the tariff chaos that gripped markets a year ago. The pound rose against the dollar, gilts are rising and yields plunging. The moves are being mirrored across Europe. Traders have pared bets on both the Bank of England and the European Central Bank hiking interest rates this year. Taking a look some key London stocks, Rolls-Royce shot up 11%, alongside Barclays and Lloyds . Airline stocks also surged, while oil majors BP and Shell fell. It’s worth bearing in mind that nothing is certain, but it gives investors some respite from the recent turbulence.

The National Development and Reform Commission said on Tuesday that gasoline and diesel prices would rise from midnight by 420 yuan and 400 yuan a metric ton, respectively, well below the increases of 800 yuan and 770 yuan that would have been triggered under China’s normal pricing formula.
