Grammar schools in Nantwich
There are no grammar schools in Nantwich.
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 Cheshire East is not one of them, so every state secondary in Nantwich admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Lecale Trinity Grammar School, about 10.9 miles away in Newry, Mourne and Down. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
