Questions people ask

Are there grammar schools in Croydon?

No. Croydon council runs no state grammar schools, but 10 are within 10 miles, in Bexley, Bromley, Kingston upon Thames and Sutton. The nearest is Wilson's School, 1.5 miles from the centre.

Which 11+ test do they use?

Of the 10 within 10 miles: 5 use the Sutton SET, 2 set their own test, 2 use Quest, 1 not yet confirmed. Each school's page gives its test dates.

Does living nearby get my child a place?

Not on its own. Your child must pass the school's 11+ test. Many schools then give places by distance or catchment area, and some take the highest scores wherever children live. Each school's page sets out its rules.

How we work this out

What it does

Croydon has no state grammar schools of its own. These are the nearest, with who they take and their 11+ test.

All 163 state grammar schools in England on the Department for Education's register, September 2026.

Method

  1. We start from Croydon's centre on the Ordnance Survey's map of places.
  2. We measure a straight line from there to each school's registered location and list the schools inside your chosen distance, nearest first.
  3. Boys, girls or mixed, the test provider and the Year 7 places come from each school's own admission arrangements for September 2027.
  4. 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.
