Contemporary motion to Conference
The Conference Arrangements Committee has accepted a motion submitted by Maidenhead CLP as contemporary and it will go forward to the Priorities Ballot on Sunday 25 September at Conference. The motion, put forward by Jo Smith concerns Theresa May's renewed proposals on grammar schools;
"This Conference
"This Conference
- deplores the Prime Minister’s deplores the Prime Minister’s plan for the widespread return of selection allowing more schools to become grammars, as outlined in her speech on 9 September 2016;
- regrets that a selective system continues in force in a few parts of the country;
- is aware that research evidence, both in England and internationally, shows that that selective schools do not promote social mobility or contribute to the raising of standards and shows that in selective areas middle and lower attainers do worse than in comprehensive areas;
- recognises that the purpose of education should be to provide all children, irrespective of background or specific needs, with the skills, knowledge, enthusiasm and understanding necessary to lead a rewarding and fulfilling life. Labelling children as failures before education has given them the chance to develop, which is what selection does, is one of the prime causes of division and unfairness in our society;
- therefore commits the party to opposing any expansion to selective education and also to the ending of educational selection in all state funded schools through the establishment in all areas of a genuinely comprehensive and inclusive secondary education system that provides for all children according to their needs."
