Grammar schools in Rainham
There are no grammar schools in Rainham.
Grammar schools are state secondaries that select by ability, usually through an 11+ test. Only 47 of the 226 local authorities in the UK still have any, and Havering is not one of them, so every state secondary in Rainham admits without a selective test.
