A Leicestershire primary school has admitted that its Year 2 pupils are receiving weekly lessons on sarcasm, following pressure to include the subject from KidPower, a left-wing Camden action group.
Cardwell Village school, rated by Ofsted as ‘Almost Good’, already runs classes for the five-year-olds on ‘Anger Management’, ‘Gender Politics’ and ‘Controlling your Parent’.
Spoofflé’s Education correspondent Diadora de Monteville-Dickson visited the school and spoke to some of the pupils.
She asked Ben, 5, if he enjoyed the sarcasm lessons, to which he replied ‘Do I look as though I enjoy it?’.
