Creating this thread because it came up in discussion in one of the COVID threads. It's not COVID specific, so I've put it here.
Rather than having people move around to "good" schools and people in "bad" ones being disadvantaged, should we look to improve bad schools and make a rule that you attend your local one, certainly at primary level but possibly also secondary?
It would allow the "school run" to be moved to largely be on foot or by bicycle, for one benefit. This would be a much bigger benefit during COVID but would be a benefit at other times too.
