This is a list of the 164 state-funded fully selective schools (grammar schools) in England, as enumerated by Statutory Instrument.[1][2][3]
Under the Tripartite System of secondary education in England between the 1940s and 1960s, approximately a quarter of children were selected by the eleven plus exam for entry to grammar schools. Most of these schools were closed or converted to comprehensive schools in the 1960s and 1970s, though a few local authorities resisted this move and retained a selective system. There are also a number of isolated grammar schools, which admit the candidates who score highest on their entry tests.[4][5]
The remaining 164 English grammar schools are listed here grouped by region (from north to south) and Local Education Authority. There are no remaining grammar schools in North East England. The gender indicated is that of the main school (ages 11–16). Several single-sex schools have sixth forms that also admit a small number of students of the opposite gender.
