He wanted to highlight the swingeing cuts that face schools across the county.
Mr Farron, Mr Woodcock and Mr Frost did not leave the meeting with high hopes. Mr Frost said there was "no sway" from the government during the talks.
In Barrow, by 2019 Ormsgill Nursery and Primary School will see a £68,849 drop in funding, and at St Bernard's Catholic High School, an estimated drop of £149,061.
Mr Woodcock said the actions of the government were putting the futures of the next generation of schoolchildren at risk.
He said: "The minister was clear that the government thinks that schools have been protected from cuts for too long and must now take the strain, but this is such a short sighted approach.
"If we cut investment in the next generation then we will undermine the foundations of our future prosperity, the government must change course and put investing in our children ahead of tax cuts for millionaires."
Mr Frost said there was only so much pressure teachers could cope with when faced with such cuts.
He said: "The teaching profession is a resilient one, but there comes a point. We want children to be served by people who are able to make education a joyous experience."
In spite of the poor outcome of the meeting, Mr Frost said he expects the fight to continue. He said: "I still think there are battles to be fought and won, I think the deciding factor will be what parents make of these cuts."
