Rejected petition To reject the reintroduction of the divisive grammar school system

Theresa May wants to reinstate Grammar and Secondary Modern schools whereby children are segregated at 11 according to whether or not they pass an examination.
Children who fail the exam will have reduced academic opportunities, with a negative impact on many aspects of their later life.
