Grammar schools in Crewe
There are no grammar schools in Crewe.
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 Cheshire East, Shropshire and Staffordshire is not among them, so every state secondary in Crewe admits without a selective test.
The nearest is St Joseph's College, about 11.9 miles away in Stoke-on-Trent. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
