Grammar schools in Rugeley

There are no grammar schools in Rugeley.

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 Staffordshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Rugeley admits without a selective test.

The nearest is Queen Mary's High School, about 11.7 miles away in Walsall. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
