Grammar schools in Worcester
There are no grammar schools in Worcester.
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 Worcestershire is not one of them, so every state secondary in Worcester admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Alcester Grammar School, about 14.6 miles away in Warwickshire. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
