Grammar schools in Mexborough

There are no grammar schools in Mexborough.

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 Doncaster and Rotherham is not among them, so every state secondary in Mexborough admits without a selective test.

The nearest is Heckmondwike Grammar School, about 21.3 miles away in Kirklees. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
