Grammar schools in Solihull

There are no grammar schools in Solihull.

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 — Solihull is one of the majority that does not, so local state secondaries admit without a selective test.

The nearest is King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls, about 5.4 miles away in Birmingham. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
