Grammar schools in Ripley
There are no grammar schools in Ripley.
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 Derbyshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Ripley admits without a selective test.
The nearest is The King's School, Grantham, about 32.9 miles away in Lincolnshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
