Selection to stay

Selection will stay with the decision of 30 of the grammar schools to establish a Company to administer a test. It will be based on the primary school curriculum and be free to children from lower income families. None of the Catholic grammars are among the 30 with only Lumen Christi indicating it will adopt an entrance test. If this situation remains, what impact will it have on the intake of the maintained and controlled sectors at secondary level?

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.

If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
