Grammar schools in Pinner
There are no grammar schools in Pinner.
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 Harrow and Hillingdon is not among them, so every state secondary in Pinner admits without a selective test.
The nearest is The Henrietta Barnett School, about 8.5 miles away in Barnet. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
