Grammar schools in Chichester
There are no grammar schools in Chichester.
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 West Sussex is not one of them, so every state secondary in Chichester admits without a selective test.
The nearest is St George's School, about 24.3 miles away in Isle of Wight. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
