request for new sections in Education

There are sections for primary and secondary, please could there be sections for first and middle schools as well as sometimes it'd be useful to post on a specific forum for these schools given the issues coming up at different ages to primary/secondary - e.g. changing schools and differences with year 4 being the oldest etc.

There are too many sections already...

Very envious of those of you in Scotland!
The three tier system round here seems to be set to stay and, like others have said, both that forum and a Scottish one would be good.
How do we persuade MNHQ then?!

I'd second a Scottish section

There should also be a section for Scottish education since we don't fall under the incompetence of Gove thankfully!

I agree, the number of middle and first schools is shrinking but we seem to have sections for other niches .

MirandaWest · 07/07/2013 18:12

There are sections for many things - I think First and Middle Schools would be a sensible addition. Where we used to live there is a three tier system and I don't think it's likely to change for a while at least

Yes, but how hard would it be to make a new section?
MNSN have been well catered-for in that department. One of the problems with being involved in a rare or niche set is that it's hard to find things relevant to you, as everything else smothers it.

First and middle schools are being phased out across the country and are nationally very rare so rather a niche product
