If minimum class sizes were imposed then many of the very good village schools would be forced to close, meaning younger children would have to travel perhaps long distances and be placed in classes with too many pupils. Although some have mixed year groups, this seems to work if there is also a TA and one on one for AN pupils.
Smaller class size - a maximum of 25 and perhaps 20 up to Y6.
Concentration on the basics to ensure every child has a good grounding on which to build after Y6, perhaps meaning a simplified curriculum.
A free proper meal so there is no discrimination.
Simpler uniforms - I am not anti-uniform because it generally is easier for parents and there is no competitiveness amongst pupils about who has or has not got the most trendy clothes or expensive trainers.
But I see no need for blazers and ties.
Stop pushing older, experienced teachers out, in favour of cheap NQTs.
Yes! I saw that in action years ago, dreadful.
Make Welsh optional, not compulsory from reception right up to Y11.
