Raise the age of compulsory education in England to Six & reform Early Education

We believe children in England start school too early, often before they’re developmentally ready, which we believe harms mental health and self-esteem. We feel many teachers, often without training in child development, face unrealistic expectations—impacting their own wellbeing and driving many to leave the profession. We believe countries with later school starting ages and play-based learning see better outcomes for children and teachers. We believe we need a system that supports both.
