I would guess it's all because of this American-style
'compensation culture' that has unfortunately become the norm in
the UK - if one child so much as slips on a pack of ice or sneezes
in a cilly classroom then his parents will no doubt sue the local
council for damages.

Maybe also because in days of yore far fewer people had to/chose to
go to schools miles away from their homes that could only be reached
by car? Political answer, but this is a political topic in the first
place, but some people are now so obsessed by the league tables that
they'll drive their kids miles for the sake of them.
