Are admissions to Grammar schools going to be means tested for free places ? I.e Children from affluent families will pay fees ?

I can understand if it goes that way because there is lots of independent research that points to Grammar schools being dominated by affluent families and especially using expensive private tuition for entrance tests.

State grammars are free.

Some private schools gave 'grammar' in their name.

Which are you trying to talk about?

That's how it was before 1944.
Why do you think it would go back to that system?

No. On no planet is this going to happen.

If it is means tested then will children who don ‘t qualify for free places have to pay fees ?
