Comprehensive Future is hosting a special event exploring what teachers and education leaders really think about the 11-plus – and why policy makers continue to ignore their concerns.

Wednesday, November 19th, 6pm, Houses of Parliament, London

We’re delighted to welcome four excellent speakers for a thought-provoking discussion on the impact of selective education and the future of fair admissions.

Our speakers:

  • Dr Katy Simmons – Campaigner and Buckinghamshire School Governor

  • Clive Smith – Principal, Casterton College Rutland

  • Steve Witherden MP – Former teacher and Labour MP for Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr

  • Wayne Norrie – CEO, Greenwood Academies Trust

This discussion supports our Educators Against the 11-plus open letter campaign, which highlights the professional consensus against selection at 11.

If you work in education — or know someone who does — please sign and share our open letter: comprehensivefuture.org.uk/educators-against-11plus

After the panel, we’ll hold Comprehensive Future’s Annual General Meeting, where members can elect our Executive and Steering Group, and review our campaigning achievements over the past year.

Everyone is welcome to attend the discussion, and CF members are warmly invited to stay on for the AGM.
