Allow UTCs and Studio Schools to become selective schools.

Closed 33 signatures

What the petition asks

Studio Schools and UTCs were established to combat the growing skills shortage. They need to ensure their pupils have ability and aptitude for their specialist subjects.
The school would not need to be selective based on grades but rather based on the ability of the student to learn in the given subject and their aptitude towards it.
