"...a partnership between Westminster public school and the Harris Federation of London academies, will apply the Government’s Free School rules which allows screening by academic ability for post-16 education...
"Harris Westminster Sixth Form Academy, which opens next September, will take 250 of the most gifted pupils in the capital, aiming to get them into Oxford, Cambridge and other top universities. It will use the top public school’s curriculum and coaching programme for university entry.
Disadvantaged children on free school meals or attracting the pupil premium will be given priority for places. Hopefuls will sit an entrance test, have an interview – and be predicted to achieve A and A* GCSE grades, with six As as a minimum."
