The Catch — Honest Parent Note
FREE. A premier state grammar school. The catch: The 11+ entrance exam is one of the hardest in the UK. Many local families spend years in private tutoring just to secure one of the 'free' spots.
State-funded school: This school is free to attend. Entry is typically based on catchment area and/or a selective entrance exam. Contact the school directly to confirm eligibility requirements.
State-funded. Small voluntary contributions may apply.
