Day camp for kids: 50% of five-year-olds are badly behaved in school

Parents considering investing in a day camp for kids have been told that almost half of five-year-olds show a poor level of behaviour and understanding in their first year at school.
Research published in the Marmot Review found that there are also stark inequalities in different areas of the country.
In Richmond-upon-Thames, west London, 68.8 per cent of youngsters have a good level of development, however, in Haringey, north London, the same could be said for just 41.9 per cent.
Sir Michael Marmot, public health specialist and author of Fair Society, Healthy Lives, said: "We already know that by the age of ten a child from a poorer background will have lost any advantage of intelligence indicated at 22 months, whereas a child from an affluent family will have improved his or her cognitive scores purely because of his/her advantaged background."
Recently, world super lightweight champion boxer Amir Khan said that more should be done to get kids involved in sport.
