Grammar schools in Wembley
There are no grammar schools in Wembley.
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 Brent and Ealing is not among them, so every state secondary in Wembley admits without a selective test.
The nearest is The Henrietta Barnett School, about 4.8 miles away in Barnet. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
