While Wirral Grammar School for Girls has no official catchment area, they prioritize students living nearby when filling available spaces. This "closer proximity" is measured as the shortest road distance from a student's home to the nearest school gate. However, if the school deems a nearby footpath safe enough for walking, they may use that distance instead.
