Hammersmith and Fulham (H&F) council has launched a pilot scheme which gives all pupils free breakfast and lunch irrespective of their background.

Schools should be accountable for the exam results of pupils they have permanently excluded by including them in their league table rankings, a major new Government report will say.

Three pre-school children knocked on the door of 10 Downing Street to ask the Government not to make them sit controversial new school “tests”.

The number of parents fined for their children's poor attendance at school has increased by 93% to almost 223,000 in 2017-18.

Schools will get £400 million in extra capital funding this year, the chancellor has announced. Mr Hammond said the government was "investing record amounts in our schools", but acknowledged that "school’s budgets do not stretch to that extra bit of kit that would make such a difference".

A secondary school is offering parents the chance to take their children out of school for one week in July next year for an "enrichment week", the BBC reports.
