The thing about a reduced curriculum, as pebble has discovered, is that it allows the school to focus on English and Maths. One of the measures in the league tables is the number of children who get grades A* to C at GSCE including English and Maths. A school that crams the timetable with extra English and Maths can significantly improve this measure. But at what cost?

Borderpaul - what's wrong with a one-way system? Lots of secondary schools do that. If you have more than a thousand children moving around the school at the same time it makes sense!
