Proceeding contribution from Lord Brady of Altrincham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for paying such glowing tribute to Wellington high school in my constituency, which is an excellent school. May I support the excellent case that he is making with another useful statistic? In the value-added league tables, of the 21 schools adding most value between the ages of 11 and 14, 18 were grammar schools. That surely proves exactly the point that my hon. Friend is making—that is it what happens inside the school, rather than the quality of the intake that is most important. The value added in the grammar schools is even better.
