Grammar schools in Billingham
There are no grammar schools in Billingham.
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 Stockton-on-Tees is not one of them, so every state secondary in Billingham admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Ripon Grammar School, about 34.2 miles away in North Yorkshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
