Grammar schools take the top 25% of children at 11. The selection is based on teacher assessment as well as a written test. I have never taught in an area where they have them, but I did go to one, a grils school and I loved it. My brother went to one too but claims it was the worst thing he ever did. My parents both went to one, where they met- my dad grew up in the bad side of Brighton, and some might say that going there was the making of him, plus he met my mummy who was from the posher side.

I refused to take the grammar school exam. I don't believe in that kind of segregation when there is streaming in comprehensives anyway.

Do you think education is all down to funding then 623? I can tell you that our local Grammar is the lowest funded school in the area and it does the best.

What schools need is good teachers and unfortunately it's a fact of life that schools that are seen to be good will generally attract those more than ones lower down those stupid tables. I don't believe equipment makes a lot of difference.

There is no need for grammar schools. Comprehensive schools can stream their pupils and challenge the brightest. There is no such thing as a 'bog standard comprehensive school'. This is a label invented by the press. In Peterborough, where there is 'supposed to be no selection', we have one of the best 'comprehensives' in the country but have also had among the worst performing schools. The truth is the 'comprehensive' school is a former grammar school in a leafy area and it creams off the best students for miles around. This in turn attracts the best teaching graduates (from Oxbridge) and so it goes on.

The most studious pupils will get good exam results at either type of school. I think the main difference between the comprehensive and the grammar school is the better personal and social education which goes on at a grammar school.
