Grammar schools in Fakenham
There are no grammar schools in Fakenham.
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 Norfolk is not one of them, so every state secondary in Fakenham admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Skegness Grammar School, about 30.5 miles away in Lincolnshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
