Grammar schools in Godalming
There are no grammar schools in Godalming.
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 is not one of them, so every state secondary in Godalming admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Nonsuch High School for Girls, about 21.5 miles away in Sutton. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
