Grammar schools in Corby
There are no grammar schools in Corby.
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 North Northamptonshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Corby admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Bourne Grammar School, about 23.2 miles away in Lincolnshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
