I am really lucky.
I have bright, high achieving kids, who are doing well in an excellent South London comp that does really well on every measure. Progress 8 for all abilities and social classes. Excellent results, bottom line and contextual, for all students. It has a high ratio of FSM and is as mixed, socially, religiously, culturally, racially and economically as any school could be. It is not in a posh area. It is in an expensive area because all of London is, but it is 'less expensive' for buyers and has huge densities of social housing and private rented across catchment.
This is where the government should put their money. Creating good comps everywhere. All children achieving well, with subjects that suit them, taught at their speed, to go up and down sets as best needed to support them, whatever that might be, with an equal chance every year.
Not airlifting clever (middle class) kids out of comps and leaving behind a secondary modern with dwindling investment.
This move will further polarise schools, society, rich and poor.
Hang your heads in shame, May and supporters.
