Grammar schools in Wellingborough
There are no grammar schools in Wellingborough.
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 Northamptonshire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Wellingborough admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Lawrence Sheriff School, about 25.1 miles away in Warwickshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
