Grammar schools in Littlehampton
There are no grammar schools in Littlehampton.
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 West Sussex is not one of them, so every state secondary in Littlehampton admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Nonsuch High School for Girls, about 39.3 miles away in Sutton. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
