Will Justine Greening bring back Grammar schools?

The Education Secretary Justine Greening has said the government needs to be "open-minded" to the possibility of bringing back grammar schools.

Ms Greening told Andrew Marr "I think we need to be prepared to be open-minded" but added she had only been in the job a few days and was not going to make "big sweeping policy announcements".

Pressed on the matter, Ms Greening said she wanted to "step away from a more old-fashioned debate about grammar schools and work out where they fit in today's landscape."
