What are the PROS of grammar schools? Good results: Grammar schools get great academic results. This is not only because of the selection of more able pupils, but also because they can often be pushed harder due to a more equal level of ability in class.

Because they are funded by the state, grammar schools do not charge fees, though a few grammar schools have boarding facilities. They will charge fees for boarding, but not for tuition. You are allowed to apply for a place at a school or schools in any local authority area, even if it is not the one in which you live.
