The equality-obsessed left will never understand grammar schools like poor, bright pupils do

As a Sevenoaks resident, I am simply relieved that the grammar school campaigning has now been put to bed after considerable dithering and delaying on the part of Nicky Morgan, Education Secretary. Today’s announcement might be headline news for most, but for us locals this row has dragged on for years. Notwithstanding the obvious political difficulties of sanctioning the creation of some 450 extra grammar school places, irrespective of whether the school calls itself an ‘annexe’ or not, Morgan dragged this on long enough before doing the right thing.
