Every year thousands of children face the 11-plus and a secondary school divide.

Theresa May did not achieve the majority she needed to change the law and create new grammar schools. We suspect that there will still be attempts to expand selection, either through ‘annexe’ schools, or covert selection such as ‘grammar streams.’

Comprehensive Future is committed to fighting academic selection in any form which is why we continue to raise funds to campaign against the 11-plus and grammar school / secondary modern divide.

Selective education subjects thousands of young children to stressful tests at the age of 11, and segregates pupils in a hugely damaging way. Children are more likely to succeed when they are taught together in high quality all-ability schools.

The funds we raise with this campaign will support our work lobbying politicians, informing the public about the problems with selection, and working with schools, local authorities and communities who wish to end selective education.

Comprehensive education works and we need to give our children high quality secondary schools with no test at ten. Please donate to our campaign.
