Grammar schools in Leek

There are no grammar schools in Leek.

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 Staffordshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Leek admits without a selective test.

The nearest is St Joseph's College, about 10.8 miles away in Stoke-on-Trent. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
