English for All

So the Government has delivered on its election promise of English classes for all children from Year 1.

Just a few minor oversights:

• there do not appear to be enough English teachers for the extra work
• busy schools may not have classrooms available for the extra classes
• there is no guidance for schools as to curriculum revision from next year for year 5, which was the traditional starting point. Children will be entering year 5 with between 1 and 4 years' experience.

And I wont even start on the language knowledge of the teachers who are in the system already....
