Not in St Albans itself, but 14 state grammar schools are within 20 miles. The nearest is Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, 8.6 miles from the centre.

Which 11+ test do they use?

Of the 14 within 20 miles: 7 use GL Assessment, 5 use Quest, 2 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.

How we work this out

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

Method

  1. We start from St Albans'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.
