Grammar schools in Newark
There are no grammar schools in Newark.
Grammar schools are state secondaries that select by ability, usually through an 11+ test. Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire have 15 of them, but none in Newark itself — so every state secondary in Newark admits without a selective test.
