Grammar schools in North Somerset
There are no grammar schools in North Somerset.
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 — North Somerset is one of the majority that does not, so local state secondaries admit without a selective test.
The nearest is Marling School, about 35.7 miles away in Gloucestershire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
