Grammar schools in Lymington
There are no grammar schools in Lymington.
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 Hampshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Lymington admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Bournemouth School for Girls, about 12.5 miles away in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
