Grammar schools in Newport Pagnell
There are no grammar schools in Newport Pagnell.
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 Milton Keynes is not one of them, so every state secondary in Newport Pagnell admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Royal Latin School, about 13.2 miles away in Buckinghamshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
