There is of course no ban on pupils from a council estate, nor will Bolingbroke cater exclusively for the children of bankers.

The Mirror and the GMB are distorting the facts in their idealogical opposition to free schools. It might make good headlines in a tabloid but the facts are much more complicated. You can read a better article and the comment at:

Firstly they are confusing the Lycee ecole de Wix, with us just, because we are on the same site. The children from the Lycee will have no automatic right of entry into the new Academy.

When I met with representatives of ARK who will be running the Bolingbroke Academy, I argued that Wix Primary should be included in their list of "portal schools" precisely because we have a higher than average number of children on free school meals 31%, compared with the national average of 18.5%

Wix is closer to the Bolingbroke Academy than any other secondary.

Other commenters disagree, but whatever the truth of the exact distances, the selection of feeder schools does not appear to be have done based on excluding pupils based on wealth.
