Grammar schools in Stafford
There are no grammar schools in Stafford.
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 Staffordshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Stafford admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Haberdashers' Adams, about 10.8 miles away in Telford and Wrekin. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
