New article from the Guardian with commentary from IHE Director Professor Sir Michael Marmot. shows that students at top private schools have 10 times more green space than state pupils. 

“The inequalities in access to green space between independent and state schools, while not surprising, are staggering in magnitude,” said Prof Michael Marmot, director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity, and author of the landmark Fair Society Healthy Lives report in 2010 (more often referred to as the Marmot review).

“The playing fields of Eton may be a well-worn cliche; the lack of playing fields in your local state school is an all-too-present reality.”
