Bradford Girls’ Grammar School has been praised in Westminster for “returning to its roots” and abandoning pupil selection.
Lib Dem Peer Baroness Walmsley commended the school on its bid to rejoin the state education system, end fee-paying and widen admission.
Entrance is currently by competitive exam and senior school fees are £11,000 a year. Late last year Bradford Girls' Grammar School applied to the Government to become a Free School. If accepted by Education Secretary Michael Gove the status will change in September 2013.
