Cheshire has adopted the [[comprehensive school]] model of secondary education, so all of the schools under its control cater for pupils of all levels of ability.<ref>{{citation|title=Secondary Education|url=http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/EducationAndLearning/schools/admissions/Secondary.htm|publisher=Cheshire County Council|access-date=3 February 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081014081220/http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/EducationAndLearning/schools/admissions/Secondary.htm|archive-date=14 October 2008}}</ref> Until the late 1970s Crewe had two [[grammar school]]s, Crewe Grammar School for Boys, now [[Ruskin High School, Crewe|Ruskin High School]] and Crewe Grammar School for Girls, now [[the Oaks Academy]] (formerly Kings Grove School).
