  We believe that people will achieve more by working together than they can by working alone. We support the efforts of those who seek success through that co-operative endeavour.

  We believe that the only way to create a just and fair society is through power being spread evenly throughout society, and not arbitrarily based on wealth, class, gender or race.

  We work to promote co-operatives and all forms of mutual organisation.

  We work in partnership with the Labour Party as its sister party to achieve these ends. There are currently 29 Labour/Co-operative MPs including Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, as well as seven other Government ministers.

• Comprehensive Future

  We have never had a fully comprehensive school system in England. We brand thousands of children as failures at the age of 11. The 11 plus still exists in about a quarter of English local authorities, including Redbridge. Selective schools cream off pupils from nearby ‘comprehensive’ areas. The School Admissions Code allows all schools to be partially selective on ‘aptitude’ and those selecting on ability to continue. Increasingly schools are becoming admission authorities able to decide which children to admit.

  Comprehensive Future is the campaign for fair admission policies in England. The campaign is non party political and open to all. By lobbying Government, providing evidence, informing the media and supporting local campaigns on admissions we aim to bring about a comprehensive secondary school system in England with fair admissions criteria to all publicly funded schools, guaranteeing an equal chance to all children and an end to selection by ability and aptitude.
