Grammar schools in Maryport
There are no grammar schools in Maryport.
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 Cumberland is not one of them, so every state secondary in Maryport admits without a selective test.
