Our Grammar School Pros and cons

For many, it could come down to choosing between a grammar school or an independent school. Therefore, understanding some of the more subtle differences between the two may interest parents. Of course, both types offer a wonderful education for its students, academically as well as in a broader context.

Such is the level of competition for both that achieving a place at a grammar school is on par with an academic private school scholarship.
So, this is about

– focusing on the right fit.

– choosing a school to suit both your circumstances and your child’s personality.

Grammar schools pros and cons

Grammar schools

– offer an impressive, academically-focused

socially inclusive education

– without any (private school) fees

– almost exclusively limited to students who live close enough to a grammar school.

The 11 plus first-past-the-post system does not involve a report from the child’s current headteacher, nor an interview. Even then, passing the 11+ does not guarantee a place being offered. Since grammar school admissions criteria among local authorities may vary.

grammar schools’ focus on educational achievement

However, for those students who do meet the admissions criteria, they can look forward to an education with an emphasis on a strong work ethic allied to high achievement and aspirations. The focus is generally on more traditional academic subjects, with perhaps less capacity to branch away from core disciplines. It might be difficult, for example, to find a grammar school which offers Sociology or Ancient History at A level, or less commonly taught languages. Given the expectation for students to take responsibility for their own learning, even if your child is able to meet the entry criteria, you might wish to consider whether the demands will suit them.

However, for families who do find themselves undecided, then perhaps this broad outline of some of the different features between grammar and independent schools may help you decide which might better suit your child.
