Grammar schools in Crawley

There are no grammar schools in Crawley.

Grammar schools are state secondaries that select by ability, usually through an 11+ test. Only 46 of the 226 local authorities in the UK still have any, and Surrey and West Sussex is not among them, so every state secondary in Crawley admits without a selective test.

The nearest is Wallington High School for Girls, about 16.3 miles away in Sutton. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
