Grammar schools without catchment area

Post by Ksenia »

Hi all
I'm looking for mixed gender grammar schools without catchment area in UK (except North of England and Wales). Is it possible to find the such list of schools?

This question is often asked. There are several threads which might help you, one of which is this one. It also has links to other threads on the same subject.

You're in luck on one issue - there are no grammar schools in Wales :).

There are none in Scotland, either, although they would presumably be discounted anyway under the heading of 'north'?

Quite a in Northern Ireland, but probably not without catchment of some description.

The Gloucestershire grammar schools are still non-catchment at the moment - Pates (Cheltenham) and the Crypt School (Gloucester) being the two mixed ones, although the Stroud grammars, Stroud High School (girls) and Marling (its male counterpart) are very close together, of it is shared transport for Male-female siblings, rather than specifically mixed education that you are after.

True - but the OP wanted mixed-gender and they are not mixed, unless you count the mixed sixth form at CRGS?

Is Colyton superselective? It's definitely mixed and definitely not northern (unless you're looking at it from Cornwall, I suppose), or in Wales.
