Questions

Questions parents ask

How many grammar schools are in London?
There are 19 grammar schools in London, including state-funded, academies, and independent schools.
What are the best grammar schools in London?
The highest-ranked grammar schools in London on Eduscope are St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School, Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet and Wilson's School. We rank each state school against schools of the same phase across England on its Ofsted inspection, results and attendance.
How many Ofsted Outstanding grammar schools are in London?
London has 5 grammar schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted. A further 6 are rated Good, meaning 100% of inspected schools hold a Good or Outstanding rating.
How are grammar schools in London ranked on Eduscope?
Each state school gets a rank score out of 100. We place each measure as a percentile among state schools of the same phase across England, then weight them. Primary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 30%, pupils meeting the expected standard at Key Stage 2 30%, pupils reaching the higher standard 10%, persistent absence (lower is better) 20%, average reading and maths scores 10%. Secondary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 25%, Attainment 8 25%, grade 5 or above in English and maths 15%, persistent absence (lower is better) 15%, pupils staying in education or work after GCSEs 10%, A level average points (sixth forms only) 10%. Results are averaged over up to three years, and an Ofsted grade older than five years counts for less. A school needs data for at least 60% of the weights. Special schools, pupil referral units, nurseries, independent schools and 16 to 19 schools aren't ranked, and are listed by Ofsted grade and name. Our methodology page explains more.
What is the average class size in London grammar schools?
The average pupil-teacher ratio across grammar schools in London is 18:1. While this is not a direct measure of class size, it indicates the level of teaching resource available per pupil.
How do grammar school admissions work in London?
Grammar schools in London select pupils based on academic ability, usually through the 11-plus exam taken in Year 6. Each grammar school sets its own pass mark and oversubscription criteria. Check individual school pages on Eduscope for admissions details.
