grammar schools

Grammar schools are selective secondary schools in the UK that admit students based on their academic ability, typically determined by an entrance exam called the 11+. They aim to provide a high-quality education, often with a focus on academic subjects, to prepare students for university and professional careers. Unlike comprehensive schools, which serve all students regardless of ability, grammar schools have a more competitive admissions process. They often have a strong academic reputation and can offer advanced programs, contributing to the wider educational landscape in the UK.
