Grammar schools in Norfolk
There are no grammar schools in Norfolk.
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 — Norfolk is one of the majority that does not, so local state secondaries admit without a selective test.
The nearest is Skegness Grammar School, about 46.4 miles away in Lincolnshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
