I am curious and wondered what this term means as I have seen it used a lot and just watched someone describing a selective grammar school vs a superselective one ...is it based on taking top 5% or 10% academically as opposed to top 25% or based on sheer number of applications to places (which could be skewed if very wide catchment area)?
Are the ones that do a competitive 11+ (as opposed to a qualifying 11+ pass) encompassing a large catchment area so described?
Is it only the top ten or top five grammar schools in the country based on grades or Oxbridge entry or much wider than that?
