Re: party political politics
 
They teach competitive sport in the Juniors at my children's school.

They don't do winners or losers in infants. I think I mentioned that before but when they get to Juniors they do Sports day with points scored for their houses. Four houses and each win counts points towards the house score, so that at the end of the day one of the houses is the winner. It's quite a good way because it means that individually one poor runner can still be part of the winning house but gives them all an incentive to win for their house.

They're also pretty big on football at their school and for the last two years they've been the regional champions of a competition organised via the league football clubs. They've played and won the local championship at Accrington Stanley's ground and then got through to the North West finals. If they'd won that they would be playing at Wembley - unfortunately they've been thwarted at that last hurdle.

But definitely have a play to win attitude at their school.
