Grammar schools in Greenwich

There are no grammar schools in Greenwich.

Grammar schools are state secondaries that select by ability, usually through an 11+ test. Only 46 of the 226 local authorities in the UK still have any — Greenwich is one of the majority that does not, so local state secondaries admit without a selective test.

The nearest is Bexley Grammar School, about 2.6 miles away in Bexley. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
