flag A petition urges Colchester Royal Grammar School to adopt a catchment area after an FOI shows 70% of 2025 spots went to non-local students.

flag A petition demands Colchester Royal Grammar School adopt a catchment area after an FOI request revealed only 39 of 128 places in March 2025 went to local students, with 70% coming from outside Colchester, including London. flag Parents argue the current merit-based system disadvantages local families, harms social mobility, and weakens community ties, citing Chelmsford’s grammar school as proof a balanced approach works. flag Opponents say admissions should prioritize academic ability, not geography, to uphold the purpose of selective schools and maintain high standards. flag The school has not commented.
