Broken Britain: Prime Minister David Cameron said during a visit to a Norwich school yesterday that he was determined to bring 'rigour' back to the classroom David Cameron yesterday launched a blitz on ‘coasting’ schools in affluent areas which are being outshone by their inner-city counterparts. He said hundreds of secondary schools in better-off parts of the country needed a ‘wake-up call’ to improve their results. In a major speech, Mr Cameron said that schools in areas such as Oxfordshire and Surrey were being out-performed by two inner-city London schools. The Prime Minister said these coasting schools could not blame deprivation for their poor results and pledged to expose their ‘complacency’.
