Read Ofsted’s report here. An overhaul of GCSEs in England has been announced by Education Secretary Michael Gove to help pupils in England “compete with the best in the world”. Ministers are being urged to ensure parents of summer-born children can exercise their right to a later school start without losing a chosen place. At seven, pupils should know their tables up to 10 and be introduced to basic algebra, says a study. Plans to let nurseries and childminders in England look after more children have been abandoned, the Education Minister Elizabeth Truss has confirmed. At least one out of every six children in the UK lives in relative poverty, according to data released by the Department for Work and Pensions. Schools are contributing to the upswing in the sales of tablet computers, with their numbers in classrooms more than doubling in the UK and US in the past year, figures reveal.
