Grammar schools in Yeovil
There are no grammar schools in Yeovil.
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 Somerset is not one of them, so every state secondary in Yeovil admits without a selective test.
The nearest is Colyton Grammar School, about 24.7 miles away in Devon. Most grammar schools accept out-of-area applicants, though distance is often a tie-breaker when a school is oversubscribed.
