Grammar schools in Virgina Water

Post by TNM47 »

Hi my friend lives in Virgina Water and is South African and knows nothing about the UK schooling system. She mentioned that a couple of mums are talking about the 11plus and she wanted to know more.

I live in Bucks so cannot help on this. If she lives in Virginia Water - are there any local grammar schools (I am not aware of any)?

Any guidance on secondary schools/catchment schools that might be in the area would be really helpful.

Thanks
Tinkers

I don’t think there’s any that close to VW.

I suspect the nearest ones are in Slough (but she’d need to check admissions to see there’s any chance of getting a place), but would require private transport I suspect.

Public transport I think would not be doable, as different train lines (I think you may need to go into Reading then back out). The drive between the two would be short in theory but at school start and finish times might be very busy.

I don’t know about schools in that area.
