No it isn't, not the grammar schools I want to go to.
Or I wouldn't want one, would I?

Then surely it's a private school rather than a grammar school if you're being made to pay a fee?

Royal Grammar school.
Please ignore the other responses in this thread as the people who post them are only jelous of you because they want to go to grammar/public school.
Anyway, I go to a grammar school and the fees are ridiculously expensive, around £9000 a term and that's if you're not boarding. So I tried to get a scholarship around 3 years ago and I was successful!! If you want a scholarship you need to sit exams and attend an academic interview.

Your trolling is getting rather tedious, and is not at all skilful. Private schools in the UK do not charge anything like £9,000 a term before boarding costs.
Good bloke

I am not trolling. I am talking pure fact. I attend a private school in Mayfair, London. You no nothing about me so please back off and stop jumping to conclusions.
Grammar schools don't charge. The entire point of grammar schools is to let bright children from all backgrounds excel in their work, rather than be weighted down in a comprehensive.
You're talking about a private school, and in any case the best course of action for you is to contact the school itself and enquire, rather than taking random guesses from us.

I've had a scholarship to a grammar school for almpst eight years now. You will probably have to sit an entrance exam and then have an interview and THEN apply for a scholarship when a place has been offered to you. I'm with the Ogden trust and the Mark Richer foundation who both offer scholarships all over the country. Good Luck!

Royal Grammar school.
There are loads of Royal Grammar schools aren't there? For example, the state ones.
I'm thoroughly confused now and I think you should link us to the website.
But it smells like private education to me.
The OP is thelling the truth so stop flaming her down.
I presume this is the school she is planning to attend and if you take a look at the link below you will see where she is coming from. Despite the name Royal Grammar Schhol, despite knowing nothing about it I presume it is a private school as severa private schools do have such a name eg Leicester Grammar School.

You might want to edit your OP- your typical grammar school doesn't charge, so you need to make it clear that you're applying for a Private school that for some reason adds "grammar" to it's name.
*almost.
Also, just to clear up this little argument, there are both fee-paying and non-fee-paying GRAMMAR schools in the country. For instance, Heckmondwike Grammar near Bradford is free whereas QUEGS in Wakefield charge over £9,000 a year. Boarding Schools will obviously charge more due to boarding costs.
As you can see from the animosity above, people are a little prejudiced. If you do go to a grammar school generally you'll be surrounded by people with much more money than you, of whom some of which will think that because of that fact that they're better than you. The best advice I can offer is to get a place because of you're own intelligence and not because of 'Daddy's Money' and never ever change who you are to fit in with these type of people because they're just not worth it.

Can somebody please explain to me what the difference is between a fee-paying grammar school and a private school?
As far as I can see they're the same - you pay money to send your kid to an academically selective (or special needs, in some cases) school.
I really don't get this at all.
And just to add, having 'grammar' in the name doesn't make it a grammar school. E.g. Harrogate Grammar School is a comprehensive, Derby Grammar school is a private school. I think.

If by "Grammar school" you mean a fee-paying private school, then I have. I applied for a bursary to a top end private in my area that normally charges £8500 a year for Sixth Form. After a successful interview and successful GCSE grades I managed to get £6000 knocked off
We now pay £2500 a year (: Although the reason why we got so much off was because we have a very low household income, so I don't know if the situation would be the same for you.Kytiane
