This question was answered on 8th June 2015
The Department for Education does not offer separate specific guidance to local authorities regarding the choices available for parents at grammar and local authority maintained schools.
The School Admissions Code provides that local authorities must offer information to parents regarding the choices of state-funded schools available in their local area, through their composite prospectus.
