It is among 37 Devon secondary schools that finds their budgets severely stretched by Government's massive regional differences in funding.
The county is 146th out of 149 education authorities in a table showing how much is allocated per child through the dedicated schools grant.
This year, while London boroughs such as City of London - top of the list - gets �7,603 per child, Devon pupils get half that at �3,843.
