How we work this out

Pick your town to see every state grammar school in and near Berkshire, nearest first, with its 11+ test.
All 163 state grammar schools in England on the Department for Education's register, September 2026.
Method
- We start from the centre of the Berkshire town you pick, on the Ordnance Survey's map of places.
- We measure a straight line from there to each school's registered location and list the schools inside your chosen distance, nearest first.
- Boys, girls or mixed, the test provider and the Year 7 places come from each school's own admission arrangements for September 2027.
- Schools named 'grammar' that are not state grammar schools come from the same DfE register: independent schools, and state schools it lists as non-selective.
