Grammar schools in Rushden

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 Bedford and North Northamptonshire is not among them, so every state secondary in Rushden admits without a selective test.
