Grammar schools in Didcot
There are no grammar schools in Didcot.
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 Oxfordshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Didcot admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Kendrick School, about 16.1 miles away in Reading. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
