Grammar schools in Wilmslow
There are no grammar schools in Wilmslow.
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 Cheshire East is not one of them, so every state secondary in Wilmslow admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Saint Ambrose College, about 4.4 miles away in Trafford. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
