Questions people ask

Are there grammar schools in Yorkshire?

Yes, 6, all in Calderdale, Kirklees and North Yorkshire. Pick your town on this page to see the nearest to you, with their distance and test.

Is Harrogate Grammar School a grammar school?

Not a state grammar school: it is a state school, but the Department for Education lists it as non-selective. It is not in this list.

Which 11+ test do they use?

Of the 6 in Yorkshire: 4 use FSCE, 1 uses GL Assessment, 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

Pick your town to see every state grammar school in and near Yorkshire, nearest first, with its 11+ test.

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

Method

  1. We start from the centre of the Yorkshire town you pick, 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.
