Re: OUR SCHOOL- 4TH May-LAST DAY TO POST OBJECTIONS @ BMDC

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.

Years at KBGS e.g. 1958-1964 (optional) 1952-60
