Grammar schools in Chard
There are no grammar schools in Chard.
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 Somerset is not one of them, so every state secondary in Chard admits without a selective test.
