Questions families ask
Which English areas have selective schools?
This release groups 166 selective-school records into 37 areas across England.
Does every area use one shared 11+ test?
No. A route appears only where current official evidence supports it, and a route's member schools may cover only part of an area.
Why are some area guides not indexed?
An area guide stays out of the search index when its area-wide overview or route coverage is still incomplete, even though its verified school list remains available to families.
