Grammar schools in Shropshire
There are no grammar schools in Shropshire.
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 — Shropshire is one of the majority that does not, so local state secondaries admit without a selective test.
The nearest is Newport Girls' High School Academy, about 15.1 miles away in Telford and Wrekin. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
