Almost every state school headteacher in Surrey has signed a letter to the prime minister opposing Grammar Schools.

They’re against what they call a “selective, segregated, two-tier state funded system of education.”  They also accuse the government of creating “confusion and fragmentation” in the education system, pursuing a policy based on a “nostalgic and unrealistic vision of society.”

Chair of the House of Commons Education Select Committee, Neil Carmichael has said the government is to look at the advantages and disadvantages of Grammar Schools.

Last month state school headteachers in West Sussex signed a letter asking the government for an extra 20 million of pounds of funding saying without it, there will be cuts to schools from next spring.
