Grammar schools in Scunthorpe
There are no grammar schools in Scunthorpe.
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 North Lincolnshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Scunthorpe admits without a selective test.
The nearest is The Queen Elizabeth's High School, Gainsborough, about 13.0 miles away in Lincolnshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
