Grammar schools in Hailsham
There are no grammar schools in Hailsham.
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 East Sussex is not one of them, so every state secondary in Hailsham admits without a selective test.
The nearest is The Skinners' School, about 18.8 miles away in Kent. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
