The King Edward Grammar Schools in Birmingham and Rugby High School in Warks, have be had their admisisons policy for 2015 deemed non-compliant.
They attempted to give pupil premium children priority in admissions at a lower score than other children.
An objection was raised and upheld as the schools had not bothered to ensure their funding arrangements allowed it. The fairness was not adjudicated as the schools fell at the first hurdle. What poor legal advice these grammar schools must have had!

So what now? Can the schools ignore they were non-compliant or must they wait until nex year to discriminate againts non-pupil premium children?
