On April 22nd, reform UK just dropped their big plan for schools in England, time dried before Saint George's Day. If they win power, every school has to display a portrait of the king and a spot everyone can see and fire the Union Jack from a dedicated flagpole. They'd fund. It's all part of their patriotic curriculum to make kids proud of Britain's history. They want British history to take up at least 60% of the school timeline, focusing on key moments like the Magna Carta, English Civil War. Glorious revolution and Victorian era. No more what they call a progressive spin that downplays the island story and every school would mark Saint George's Day as a must do. Surveys back their push, showing only 20% of 18-24-year-olds view Winston Churchill positively and just 41%. Percent of Gen Z feel proud to be British. Reform says past governments let ideology creep in, pushing other agendas over national pride. To Ella Braverman, their new education spokeswoman and ex-Tory minister, slam Torian labor for

failing kids on rigor and identity. She promises as education secretary to fix it, rebuilding that sense of privilege and being British through real history lessons. Meanwhile, a fresh pole has reform-eying strong gains in London's local elections, potentially topping in spots like Barking and Dagonham. With Nigel Farage talking up winds in half a dozen burrows, this curriculum pitch lands amid real momentum on the ground.
