Followed the link but got 'document unavailable for viewing' notice. Anyway, just to say I submitted my objection.

Some good news at last . Pity that Mrs May wasn't around earlier then we may have had a return of KBGS. I am amazed that there has been no comments to date about this proposed return of the Grammar Schools. Not leftfS wing enough perhaps

I blame Mrs Thatcher. She closed more grammar schools than any other PM. These damn lefties are everywhere.

I understand it is issues of social mobility that are behind the latest grammar school "debate".
The biggest obstacle to social mobility and advancement has been and is the existence of the schools our mummies and daddies couldn't afford for us.
Their continuing existence doesn't just provide a good start in life - but a continuing connectivity of considerable influence.
