Grammar schools in Great Yarmouth
There are no grammar schools in Great Yarmouth.
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 Great Yarmouth admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Colchester Royal Grammar School, about 61.3 miles away in Essex. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
