Why two "grammar schools" are on a partially selective list

Watford Grammar School for Boys and Watford Grammar School for Girls keep "Grammar" in their names, but they admit pupils in the same way as the other consortium schools: only part of each intake is chosen on the tests. If you are searching for grammar schools near Watford, all the consortium schools share one set of tests, and none of them sets a pass mark.
