Grammar Schools
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she has taken to support grammar schools in (a) England and (b) Romford constituency.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
There are no grammar schools in the Parliamentary constituency of Romford and the law prohibits new ones from opening. The department no plans to change this.
The national funding formula, and wider education policies, support all state-funded schools equally, including grammar schools.
