Grammar schools in Huntingdon
There are no grammar schools in Huntingdon.
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 Cambridgeshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Huntingdon admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Bourne Grammar School, about 28.8 miles away in Lincolnshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
