It is reported that among the 3,000 national middle schools, there are about 163 grammar schools in Britain and 69 grammar schools in Northern Ireland. There are no national grammar schools in Wales and Scotland. Although some retain the name of "grammar school", they are non-selective comprehensive schools.
