Plenty of the blame for that can be levelled at the Tories  in the 1980s, who steadfastly refused to fund state schools properly.  That’s not to defend what came next, but context is always important Edited July 16, 2019 by Pettytom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
