English-speaking pupils are a minority in inner-city London primary schools | Mail Online
Children who speak English as their first language are now a minority in inner-city London primary schools, official figures showed yesterday.
Youngsters with a different mother tongue form a majority in primaries in 13 out of 33 London boroughs and in nearby Slough.
In inner London, 54 per cent of primary pupils and 48.5 per cent in secondary institutions do not speak English as their first language. This amounts to an astonishing 159,340 children.
Across the country, English is a foreign language to more than one in seven primary youngsters - almost half a million.

Why must we indulge Doreen Lawrence?
We all sympathise with Doreen Lawrence, mother of the murdered black teenager Stephen. But does that mean we should kowtow to her views on everything from policing to politics to race relations? In the 10 years since the publication of the Macpherson report on the botched police investigation of Stephen's murder, Doreen has cast an extraordinary spell over British politics The liberal elite has promoted her to the position of a modern-day aristocrat, who sits above the political realm, passing judgement on how the police are performing or on who is fit to stand for public office.
