I'll move this thread to the Wirral forum - might get some more help from people there about distances
Re: Information about grammer schools
no you dont have to - if your dd passess 11+ and you apply they then allocated on distance from school to your house
if you apply to Upton Hall they allocated to the catholic children 1st

(In order of proximity)
Wirral Grammar School for Girls (approx 13 miles from where you are)
Upton Hall Catholic Grammar School for Girls (about 19/20 miles)
Birkenhead School (Independent/Selective - approx 20 miles)
West Kirby Grammar School for Girls (approx 20 miles)
All excellent schools! Depends if you need a school with a Catholic/Christian ethos, in which case Upton would be the best bet. Wirral Grammar is obviously the closest. Good luck to your DD!

I know somebody that attended Wirral Grammar who lived in Shotton. She got the train everyday!
Re: Information about grammer schools
Thanks for all the replies.Can someone tell me for how many schools my DD can sit for the exams?
Re: Information about grammer schools
there is 2 different 11+
one for upton Hall and then one for wirral Lea which covers all the other Grammar schools - if they pass the wirral one you can apply for any of the grammar schools in the wirral
hope this helps
