Grammar schools in Bedlington
There are no grammar schools in Bedlington.
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, and Northumberland is not one of them, so every state secondary in Bedlington admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Queen Elizabeth Grammar School Penrith, about 56.9 miles away in Westmorland and Furness. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
