Are there grammar schools in Huntingdon?

How do I apply for a school place in Huntingdon?
Apply to your council - Cambridgeshire or Bedford, depending on your address - through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
