Or in the remaining Grammar schools... - I wonder why they were abolished in most LEA's???

The idea of selecting children on the basis of an examination at the age of 11 and then segregating the 'intelligent' from the 'less intelligent' is a very poor one.  Children develop at various stages. Far better to have streaming within the same school where children can move between streams at the end of each year.
