Reforms to education will help every child fulfil their potential wherever they live, raising standards and improving the quality of schools and higher education, according to The Queen’s Speech.
Thousands of families will have their hearts in their mouths reading that. Because they know that the Government thinks that school attendance is at the heart of the solution. But for many children, school feels like an unsafe place, full of fear and anxiety.
For those children, it’s not learning that’s the problem, it’s the place they are forced to learn in and the way that schools make them learn – with a one size fits all approach that stops them reaching their full potential.
