What Does Bilateral School Mean?

Bilateral Schools which include both grammar and non-selective streams with the two groups of students taught independently. In England, there are 8 bilateral schools and all of them in areas that have retained fully selective grammar schools. Because of the competition from grammar schools in the local area, some of the bilateral schools tend to stay under-subscribed for their grammar streams.

Details of the 8 Bilateral Schools are listed below.

What Is Partially Selective School?

Partially Selective Schools are the schools that still use a small percentage of selectivity in choosing their pupil. However, they are not fully selective schools like state grammar schools. The grammar school system abandoned after the introduction of a non-selective comprehensive system. Yet, some of the schools retained the part of selection by academic ability or aptitude in a named specialism.

Partially selective schools are not the schools that have acquired specialist status but cautiously introduce up to 10 per cent selection in the specialist subject as a result.

The latest list of the 34 partially selective schools is below.

Bilateral Schools

To be accepted to the selective stream of a bilateral school, pupils must obtain the standard qualifying score in an 11 plus exam, usually, the same test used by local grammar schools to select their pupil.

Bilateral schools are undersubscribed for their grammar portions as a result of the heavy competition from the grammar schools. In some instances, they required to fill the vacant places with non-qualified pupils, unlike grammar schools which have the freedom to remain under-subscribed if insufficient pupils qualify for entry through the 11 plus qualification exam.
