Proceeding contribution from Ruth Kelly (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Schools White Paper.


Schools White Paper

Grammar schools will not be able to expand and I do not want selection to be expanded in the system. However, if a head teacher of a grammar school who is good at raising standards and promoting good educational outcomes wants to work in a school that is not a grammar school, we should allow an opportunity for that leadership to develop. In some parts of the country, grammar schools choose to federate with other schools and ensure that all children have access to the facilities in the grammar schools. The more we can break down such divides, the better.
