"The DfE figures in fact show clearly that pupils from families on below average incomes are far less strongly represented in grammar schools than non-selective schools." Prof Sullivan believes that there was no evidence that grammar schools would tackle educational inequality and increase social mobility. Out of all manifesto plans, she suggests this policy is the one as least likely to achieve its stated aim.
