In a cash splash for more than 2000 NSW public schools, the extra funding is set to provide additional teachers and services for students in need.

Among the schools to benefit from the latest round of funding is Tamworth South Public School which will receive $491,000 –  the sixth highest block of funding in the state.

Oxley High School was allocated a needs-based allocation of $363,054, while West Tamworth Public School and Westdale Public School will receive around $250,000.

In total, schools in the Tamworth district will receive more than $4 million next year.

Tamworth primary principals association president Jeremy Mills, who is also the the principal of South Tamworth school, told The Leader the funding meant schools could plan for the future.

“It's important to recognise that all public education schools need additional funding to make programs run more effectively,” he said.

“From an association perspective, I am overjoyed all schools have had their funding increased, we are able to provide a fair and equitable education for students.”

Mr Mills said Tamworth South Primary School would be carefully examining the options for the bulk of funding allocated next year.

With previous funding, he said, the school was able to pay for a speech pathologist to assist its kindergarten students.

“Obviously student literacy and numeracy needs are our first priority,” he said.

“We want our school to be cutting edge and this money allows us to provide an education for the future.

“We will be looking at technology, and looking at efficient learning strategies and to improve our capacity to work effectively with the students – a lot of this will be spent on improving learning and the collection of data and information to report back to the parents.”

Regional teachers’ federation organiser, Susan Armstead welcomed the state funding, which came under the Gonski banner, but called on the Federal government to fund their end of the deal.

“The additional resourcing is under threat because of the Turnbull Government’s refusal to make the commitment to fund the model past 2017,” she said.
