Way way overdue, but even here, in the relatively secular U.K, it took a campaign by the BHA to get it to happen.
This is a good thing, not just from our point of view, but for the children, who at those ages are asking the kind of questions that can now be truthfully answered by their Teachers.
Schools especially set up by Believers must be miffed, as will the individual Teachers who were teaching Creationism as fact, or as a "viable alternative theory" as some claimed, which of course it is not.
Teachers with any morals and integrity will be pleased to teach truth.

Great news, especially for the future of English kids.
I expect the UK standing in science to rise over the next 20 years as a result of this.

Excellent news. There needs to be careful scrutiny of "faith Schools" (oxymoron) to ensure they follow the law.
