Something to celebrate, but I am not sure the Department for Education and Michael Gove will be shouting it from the rooftops!

Well, only if they are enjoying a sauna, but I expect that applies only to consenting adults.

I'm agreeing with the posts about comparing children in this country with those in the Far East who obviously go on to achieve great success academically, but at what price? The whole tiger mother syndrome does not seem to allow for anything else other than being the absolute best at whatever, violin, maths, physics, depending on the child me thinks that this could produce a genius, equally it could also produce a basket case! I'd rather UK emulated Finland I've read great things about their education system, not least the fact that they demand very high qualifications of their teachers.
