Hmm. I didn't see this till now and it's not the place for political discussions, but is it selection on merit when well off parents pay for coaching to get their little darlings through the tests?
They were talking about this on Any Questions over the weekend and interestingly the government are putting out very 'this is a one off' vibes over this school, so don't expect to see any more either way.
Yay for selection on merit rather than how rich your parents are and whether they can afford to live in the right postcode. Still think it should be phased selection with additional entries at each year. The important thing is that the other schools in the area are still academic and don't write kids off just because they were not top of the class at 11.
