        Faith schools reduce mixing and thus have a negative effect on society. They should be banned.

        That fact that Faith schools are even a thing is ridiculous.... How do you teach kids inclusion and diversity when you’re dividing them by religion?

        There should be no expansion of faith schools. Instead we should be looking integrate existing ones into mainstream schools system.

        Again, the @Conservatives disregarding children from less privileged backgrounds that don't have the support at home to pass 11+ exams and therefore just get thrown into an underfunded state school. #ToriesOut #scrapgrammarachools

        This. People still seem to think that kids get into a grammar purely on merit and not on the size of their parents' bank balance.

        The awful segregation caused by faith schools in the north west has just been made worse. Nice one.

        Except these days it's about how much money your parents have to pay for tuition.

        If they need tuition, then they are not right for grammar schools.I had NO tuition at all, & they will struggle if they do get in, there is no help once you're in! That is not fair on the child.

        So how do you stop it? It used to be an exam that everyone took without tuition, now I know kids that have been tutored from a young age.
