Questions people ask

Are there grammar schools in Luton?

No. Luton council runs no state grammar schools, but 7 are within 20 miles, in Barnet and Buckinghamshire. The nearest is Chesham Grammar School, 14 miles from the centre.

Which 11+ test do they use?

Of the 7 within 20 miles: 6 use GL Assessment, 1 not yet confirmed. Each school's page gives its test dates.

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.

Method

  1. We start from Luton'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.
