Grammar Schools in England
11plusehelp.co.uk will help you to have a clear understanding of the Grammar Schools in the UK.
Grammar schools are academically-oriented secondary schools, one among the three types of schools forming the Tripartite System. This is the first nationwide system of state-funded secondary education in England and Wales, created under the 1944 Education Act and was later echoed by the Education (Northern Ireland) Act 1947.
There are only about 163 Grammar Schools in England, some 3,000 state secondary schools, and about 69 Grammar Schools in Northern Ireland. State Grammar Schools are not found in Scotland and whales, and although some retain the name “grammar school”, which have a selective process neither nor have any special status.
Grammar schools are government-funded, but the children who pass their entrance exams can only secure a seat here.
Grammar schools are quite different from modern secondary schools as they take students’ admissions based on academic achievement, whereas a secondary modern may not. These are non-fee-paying schools.
Grammar schools are highly selective with high standards. For this reason, you will find many grammar schools at the top of national school league tables.

If your child is longing to get into a Grammar School, it’s necessary to know the prerequisites regarding the desired school entrance exams. To enrol your child into any Grammar School, he/she should take the entrance exam termed as 11+ Exam, conducted by CEM / GL boards.
