        Because they are selective. Pick the best and reject the rest. The only non-grammar in the list is also a selective school. Now that is cleared up can you discuss something that requires a brain?

        My daughters’ class: 6 kids would get into a grammar, 12 should. Friend’s daughter’s class at school up the road: 20 will get in, 12 should. Entry too dependent on parent support.

        The issue is parent support in two ways too... It’s not just the resources to hire a tutor - Parents of children from more disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to take part in the process at all

        I was born in a block of run down flats in Deptford and spent my childhood living on a council estate. I went to the local primary and yet was selected for Grammar school where I sat alongside the son of a pianist. Grammar schools were never beyond the reach of the working class.

        City of London used to be awash with grammar school products. Mervyn King for one. It’s now swinging back toward the private schools

        I suggest it is because they are selective, and we know how the extreme left feels about someone having something they haven't got. I went to a state grammar school myself and believe they gave opportunity based on merit.

        They’ll happily send their children private though? Fine if you can afford it.

        Agreed. Although I don't object to people paying to provide good quality education for their children. After all they are paying into the state system as well. What there should be more of is the opportunity to go to a state funded grammar school.

        Absolutely, no argument with people putting their hands in their pockets to give their children the best start they can provide. Grammar schools should be maintained for those with ability to have the same chance if their parents can’t afford to pay.

        My son has been assessed as being gifted. Sadly we live in Wales so Grammar schools are not an option. I have had to homeschool him so that he can work at his pace. There are no resources available for gifted kids in our area other than private schools.

        We have 3 Grammars locally, all excellent schools. A high percentage of the kids come from private education that coach the kids to pass 11+ , state primary’s do not. Secondly, many parents pay for 11+ Tuition, therefore chances of getting to Grammar are financially influenced!

        Elder sister had some tuition but failed her 11+. My parents decided not to spend the money (they had very little and we lived on a council estate) on any tuiton for me. I passed the 11+ I chose not to go to the grammar school and went to a Comp. Today I would have no choice.

        Well they are going to be aren't they? They handpick their pupils and are not bound by any sense of academic inclusivity so are thus not operating on a level playing field with other state schools.

        I'm not arguing for or against I'm just observing the fact that they are high achieving schools on the data is inevitable.
