Ofsted report warns of education 'postcode lottery'

Schools in England are suffering from a culture of "casual acceptance" of classroom misbehaviour, Ofsted's chief inspector has warned.

In his second annual report, Sir Michael Wilshaw warned there is also a trend of white working class children being left behind and a "postcode lottery" in schools.

ITV News political correspondent Romilly Weeks reports from Norfolk:

Sir Michael highlights that children who attend schools in London, Greater Manchester and Devon are "lucky" as they have a better chance of a decent education.

"Unlucky" areas stated in the report include the Isle of Wight, Northumberland and Norfolk.
