Theresa May MP is the Secretary of State for the Home Department and Minister for Women and Equality.[1]
Education
On becoming home secretary it was widely reported in the media that May had been educated at a comprehensive school.[2][3] In 2007 Peter Hitchens disputed this claim:
- Now, here's the interesting thing. Mrs May joined Holton Grammar at the age of 13 (later than the usual 11) from a private school, in 1969. She then had about two years of grammar school education. And she completed her schooling at a new comprehensive, successfully enough to win a place at St Hugh's, then a women-only college at Oxford. But in 'Dod's Parliamentary Companion', the more detailed 'Who's Who' for MPs, she sums up her secondary schooling as 'Educated at Wheatley Park Comprehensive School'. As you see, it's a lot more complicated than that. And I don't think she needed to use the word 'comprehensive' when describing her school.[4]
