Summary
David Cameron has revealed he is terrified at the thought of sending his kids to a state secondary school. The Prime Minister said he fears he will struggle to give them a decent education because there are so few good comprehensives close to No10. In an exclusive interview, Cameron said, There aren't enough good school places, that's the problem. And that's why we're trying to have more good schools. Asked if he sympathizes with parents who can't get their kids into a decent school, he said: Totally. I've got a six-year-old and a four-year-old and I'm terrified living in central London. Mr Cameron's daughter Nancy, six, goes to a state Church of England primary a few miles from home - but he worries over where to send her and son Elwyn when they reach 11. He insists he is determined to send his kids to state schools and this has strengthened his resolve to raise standards with the new free schools.
