	Education in England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1839 government grants for the construction and maintenance of schools were switched to voluntary bodies, and became conditional on a satisfactory inspection.
		The National Curriculum was introduced, which made it compulsory for schools to teach certain subjects, as opposed to the choice of subjects being up to the school as had previously been the case.
		In Community Schools (formerly county schools), the LEA employs the schools staff, own the schools land and buildings and have primary responsibility for deciding the arrangements for admitting pupils.

	REFERENCE RE BILL 30, AN ACT TO AMEND THE EDUCATION ACT (ONT.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Act granting to His Majesty a sum of money, to be applied to the use of common schools throughout this province, and to provide for the regulations of said common schools (Common Schools Act), 56 Geo.
		I would conclude, therefore, that the trustees of the common schools had by law the power, subject to regulation, to prescribe what branches of education were to be taught in a particular school and could, by law, prescribe any level of instruction which, in their view, the needs of the particular community warranted.
		This meant that separate school trustees, like common school trustees, had a duty to permit residents between 5 and 21 years of age to attend school and a power, subject to regulation, to determine the subjects to be taught and the level of instruction.

	brief (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The fundamental problem was that grammar schools prepared students to take General Certificate of Education (GCE) examinations called Ordinary level or "O-level" examinations at the age of 15 or 16 and GCE Advanced level or "A-level" examinations at the age of 18 or 19.
		Secondary modern school students, the majority of children at state secondary schools, felt inferior to grammar school students because they had qualified for a place in their school by failing an examination.
		A grammar school education was perceived as leading to a profession while a secondary modern school education was perceived as leading to technical or unskilled jobs.

	Reference re Bill 30, An Act to Amend the Education Act (Ont.), 1987 CanLII 65 (S.C.C.)
		Although the Charter is intended to constrain the exercise of legislative power conferred under the Constitution Act, 1867 where the delineated rights of individual members of the community are adversely affected, it cannot be interpreted as rendering unconstitutional distinctions that are expressly permitted by the Constitution Act, 1867.
		Rather, the grammar and common schools were designed to overlap each other in their curriculum and the ages of their pupils.
		Section 11(4) of the 1853 Act permitted the uniting of common schools with grammar schools.

	BBC NEWS \| Education \| Grammar schools have expanded
		The Act said the key was whether a school selected all or most of its pupils "by reference to general ability".
		Nigel Briers, a retired grammar school head teacher who speaks for the Grammar Schools Association, said he suspected the growth was probably in sixth forms.
		He said the "city academy" programme was the kind of investment in high-quality schools in the poorest communities that was needed "to allow every child to fulfil their own aspirations".

	Comprehensive Education - Examining the Evidence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Grammar schools, formerly opened to all who were bright enough by Butler's Act, enabled a proportion of working-class children to mix with their similarly able middle-class peers.
		That is why the 1944 Education Act, which enshrines the idea of a grammar school place for the intellectually able rather than the socially well connected, was the culmination of the arguments of socialists such as Sidney Webb and R H Tawney.
		If grammar schools are a means whereby poor talented children are able to escape the ghetto, you would expect in a conurbation like Birmingham the proportion of children on free school meals in the grammar schools to be equivalent to the local overall figure, in fact it is very much lower.

	Key dates in Education Great Britain 1000 - 1899

		Subject to some changes the last section of the Act, dealing with the powers of making and approving schemes, which expires at the end of the year should continue for a further 3 years.
		Although some have been reluctant to accept changes generally the schemes have been well received and have done a lot of good work in restoring the grammar schools to their former glory and carrying out the real intentions of the original donor.
