Sorry Local Brits: Places are for Communist China! By Richard Miller (London)

       We are seeing a lot of stories like this one, of grammar schools accepting students from communist China over local Brits: some schools out of hundreds of applicants, admitted only one or two local whites. If this is not an example of the Great White Replacement in action, I will walk to China as the old saying went! https://www.gbnews.com/news/grammar-schools-white-britons-places-pupils-apply-china

Britons are missing out on highly competitive grammar school places as pupils apply from thousands of miles away.

Students are submitting applications from as far as China, with tutor agencies noting growing interest from overseas households who intend to relocate should their children secure a spot.

One north London grammar school processed nearly 3,000 applications for just 104 places during the 2024-25 academic year. They ultimately admitted just one White British pupil.

A neighbouring selective school faced similar pressure, with approximately 3,300 candidates vying for 192 spots. That institution accepted merely two White British children.

Freedom of Information requests submitted to over 50 of England's 163 state grammar schools have revealed the extent of this nationwide scramble for elite educational opportunity.

Data from 22 schools providing comparable figures shows White British pupil numbers fell at 20 of them between 2019-20 and 2024-25.

Meanwhile, 14 of 20 schools reporting on Indian-heritage children recorded increases in this cohort. Chinese pupil numbers rose at 14 of 18 institutions with available data, while Black pupil figures remained broadly stable.

Pate's Grammar in Cheltenham witnessed white British admissions drop from 63 to 28 as Indian-heritage numbers rose from 45 to 72.

According to Cheltenham Borough Council, 83.3 per cent of residents in the region are White British in comparison to just 4.1 per cent Asian or Asian British.

Sir Thomas Rich's in Gloucester experienced a similar pattern, with White British starters declining from 102 to 53 while Indian-heritage pupils doubled from 22 to 45.

In the 2021 Census, 87.7 per cent of Gloucester residents were White Britons. By contrast, 2.9 per cent were Asian or British Asian.

Queen Elizabeth's boys' grammar in Barnet saw its White British Year 7 intake plummet from nine to just two within a 192-pupil cohort, while Indian-heritage students climbed from 103 to 120.
