11+

I don't think going to a grammar school depends on class or income. My granddaughter is at a grammar school (she passed the exam to get in). Her parents are working class and are not well off.

What makes you feel it depends on class and income apricot? I am intrigued as it certainly doesn't have anything to do with it where we are. It is purely on merit. My grand children haven't had tutoring for it because a) their parents couldn't afford it and b) it gives a false outcome. If they can't do it purely on their own ability they will struggle. But that is only my opinion.

One of my granddaughters lives in a 11 plus area and, being all of 8, her parents should be agonising over schools, exams, tutoring.
She is brilliant at art, dancing, gymnastics but not academic, she's never read a book willingly, so thank heavens no worry or stress or disappointment over the iniquitous out-dated 11 plus for her.
Where I live there's one comprehensive school and all the children go there.
I went to grammar school when they gave a good education to any child with brains. It didn't depend upon your parents' class and income as it does now.

Best of luck to them both.
