A bit harsh---many many children left the school at which I was Principal in tears! Remember too-many homes are not happy and for many children, school is a relief and a haven. If a school provides active learning and a lot of extracurricular activities as well as friendly,but firm staff, school need not be as you say. Obviously I do not agree with indoctrination and believe schools should concentrate more on critical thinking.
fortunately I do not live in Wales!
It seems to me the authorities now do whatever they want.

Indeed---Somewhere I actually say this stuff should be not be taught in schools.
