More than 4,000 children under five excluded from school
Figures released yesterday showed that more than 4,000 children aged under five had been excluded from school or nursery in the past year -- most for assaulting staff or pupils.
Secondary schools are failing around 400,000 children if the latest league tables are to be believed, with under 30 per cent of pupils getting five 'good' GCSEs and more than 50 per cent of schools sending most kids out into the world without decent qualifications.
