Grammar schools just send the bright and fairly or very middle-class where they would have gone, anyway. Nothing wrong with that, but it is not much of an achievement. Who knew? Everyone always did, of course. That was why most places got rid of them a long time ago.
Why are these studies still being commissioned? Last year's loss of an overall majority by the Conservative Party, which in any case would never have passed grammar schools even with such a majority, was the final nail in the coffin of the whole idea of them. They are simply no longer part of the conversation.
