Pushed all the way to the bottom

A new report shows entry to the best selective schools is so competitive that children need to score near perfect results in the entry test to secure a place.

But children who are heavily coached to pass these tests usually end up in bottom sets and get lower results at GCSE and A level than their entry test results would suggest.

Pushy parents have been warned.
