Good, but should be badged as something else or there will always be a confusion with the fee-paying grammar schools. There should also be the provision for those that aren't particularly academic to get into trades earlier in life. Get them doing Maths and English to GCSE level while placing more focus on a vocational set of study.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist -
The closest secondary school to my house is grammar school, but a non-fee paying one.
Be nice to send my two there but wouldn't want to come across as pushy parent with forcing them to do the 11 plus.
