Surrey 11 Plus
The term “Surrey” is a misnomer, because none of the grammar schools commonly referred to as being in Surrey are administered by Surrey County Council. However “Surrey” is used as an umbrella term for the grammar schools in the London Boroughs of Kingston-upon-Thames and Sutton.
The Surrey grammar schools are among the most fiercely competitive for entry in the country, with as many as ten applicants for each school place.
