Paragraph 3 F1
England and Wales
An application for the admission of a child to a grant-maintained school may not be refused on the grounds that his admission would be incompatible with the school’s selective admission arrangements unless those arrangements—
are wholly based on selection by reference to ability or aptitude, and
are so based with a view to admitting only pupils with high ability or with aptitude.
For the purposes of this paragraph a school has selective admission arrangements if the arrangements for the admission of pupils to the school are to any extent based on selection by reference to ability or aptitude.
