  • Public school kids are significantly over represented in (some types of) sport and the Olympics- I’d suggest that in part that is due to many public schools doing some kind of sports each day/offering them to pupils.

    I think that that aspect is a good worth bringing to the state sector- for the health benefit of nothing else.

  • I'm always shocked how little sport there is in the state sector. Standard public school is min of 40m every day, with whole afternoons on some days.

    Our reception age kid has one lesson a week.

  • The Conservative government between 1979 and 1997 sold off around 10,000 playing fields.
