Nowt wrong with Grammar Schools. We all need servants (who go to the other place) after all...

Grammar schools are fine, provided you can get into one. They offer the comfortably well-off cheap high class education. One has therefore to ask if that is equitable. Servants need training too and there are a lot more of them about than posh well spoken toffs.

Really? So if you want your child to go to one of the top 30 Secondary Schools in the country, you have to live in catchment. This means paying more to buy or rent property because of the catchment, which also means you have to be financially well off.

When I went to the local grammar school there was no need to worry about catchment areas - every house was in the catchment area for a grammar school.
