Similarly to idea 9, having single sex primary schools seems to me to be out of date and out of sync with 21st century (even late 20th century!) values. All single sex schools should either amalgamate or turn themselves into 2 separate mixed primary schools (maybe make one of the two schools a non/multidenominational model as a short term solution – see item 1.) Another option would be to make one school a Junior school and the other a Senior school, which would take much less effort.
