MP Dominic Grieve will take the unprecedented step today of presenting a petition to Buckinghamshire county councillors.
It is from parents in Gerrards Cross and Denham, and others, calling on the county council to make more places available at grammar schools.
Normally, when people get a petition together about things they want the county council to do, it is presented by their local councillor. But Mr Grieve, MP for Beaconsfield, took advice and found he could do the job.
The petition follows the furore in March when some parents, whose children had passed the 11-plus, found their schools were full.
In some cases boys who expected an automatic place at the Royal Grammar School in High Wycombe or Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham, because they lived in the schools' catchment areas, were offered places at an upper school or at Burnham Grammar School, instead.
On Friday Sonny Harvey, one of the boys involved, handed the 800-signature petition to Mr Grieve.
Sonny's mother, Tracey, and Ingrid Gamble, both from Denham, have been fighting the cause since March.
"We have been though hell and back," said Mrs Harvey.
