A map produced by Savills estate agents shows the cost of homes near the best performing schools can be more than 25% higher than in other areas. Each dot on the map represents a school, with the darker coloured dots representing better performing schools and the size of the dot showing the 'house price premium' around that school. The fact that the darker dots are often the largest in each area shows just how much parents are willing to pay to live near a good school. Mail.
So. Middle class parents gain better schools because they can afford to move house. We NEED grammar schools in every town so that MERIT alone is rewarded. This scandal must STOP!
