Grammar schools in Winsford
There are no grammar schools in Winsford.
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 West and Chester is not one of them, so every state secondary in Winsford admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, about 15.0 miles away in Trafford. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
