Grammar schools in Newham
There are no grammar schools in Newham.
Grammar schools are state secondaries that select by ability, usually through an 11+ test. Only 47 of the 226 local authorities in the UK still have any — Newham is one of the majority that does not, so local state secondaries admit without a selective test.
The nearest is Ilford County High School, about 4.5 miles away in Redbridge. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
