In a rational society this would be seen as an opportunity to reduce class sizes and improve the early academic experiences of all our children.

However, most areas of Sussex have decided that it was more important to ‘get Brexit done’ than safeguard the education of the next generation.

So get used to losing these battles for the next five years and get used to bigger class sizes.
