Just wondered if there are any or are they all selective?

You may want to ask MNHQ to move this to the 'Secondary Ed' topic.

Bucks is a grammar school area. I would have thought most private secondaries were non selective and were largely aimed at pupils who failed the 11+.

In bucks 25% of pupils pass the 11+. There aren't super selectives. It's a pass / fail 11+

And remember just because a school has an entrance exam doesn't mean it's hard to get into. Depends what the pass mark on the exam is.....

Oops just realised I have posted this in primary! How do I ask MNHQ to move to secondary? Thank you for replies so far.
