Grammar schools in Brighton
There are no grammar schools in Brighton.
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 Brighton and Hove and West Sussex is not among them, so every state secondary in Brighton admits without a selective test.
The nearest is The Skinners' School, about 27.3 miles away in Kent. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
