I completely agree with that system of education, and a grammar school would have been preferred over a private one in my personal case. But the whole idea of a school for the brightest pupils as you suggested is at odds with Labour’s core beliefs.
For them this would divide pupils into different groupings based on intelligence and hard work, therefore the best pupils would not be equal with the others, even if they share are both from deprived backgrounds.
My point is Labour like to see a child from a poor background outstripping their peers no more than public school boy outstripping his. They just want everyone to be the same, if it wasn’t in financial terms it would be founded in education or quality of life.
Grammar schools have been the target of the Labour government since elected in 1997, leaving none in my area, just a series of rubbish “acadamies” and comps. While to Conservatives don’t shout this from off the roofs, they are much more set on the idea than Labour will ever be.
