Official data, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, shows
that a total of 470 secondary schools, many located in middle-class suburbs and
shire counties, are "resting on their laurels" instead of pushing pupils to get
the best grades.
They have been designated as "coasting" by the Department for Children,
Schools and Families under new criteria introduced last year.
The figure represents 15 per cent of secondaries in
England and is far higher than initial estimates.
With an average of 975 pupils per secondary school, it suggests that 458,000 children are affected.
Ummm did anyone remember when I posted A's For Everyone? I said that it would be bad and that they would go down well....look at this, this is one of the things I was talking about.
