This move will inevitably bring back the creaming-off process, which hardly helps the poorest citizens.
There will thus be no creaming-off from those schools.
This is already resulting in a creaming-off of the talented and well-supported children to schools outside the area.
They thought up the expensive assisted places scheme for creaming-off.
In large areas the system is comprehensive and there is a small creaming effect.
It might be argued that in a large city to take the grammar school creaming-off might put the comprehensive schools at a disadvantage.
I stress that the creaming-off argument must be taken seriously in terms of the provision of rural services.
In money value, that means a creaming-off by the wealthy of about £1,500 million per annum.
