Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools Testing for Grammar School Entry September 2026
The online form for registration for 11 testing for Entry 2026 opened on Friday 10 January 2025 and closed at midnight on Monday 31 March 2025. Late registration means a child may not be accommodated on the main test days (Saturday 13 September 2025 and Saturday 20 September 2025). They will, however, be given an opportunity to attend additional sessions at a later date, but please note this may delay the receipt of results.
Only one registration per child is permitted. In the event of a multi-registration, the latest registration will override any previous details.
Please complete the form in sentence case, do NOT use CAPITALS (except for postcode).
You will receive an electronic copy of the responses you provide from noreply@juniperwebsites.co.uk to the email address given on the form as acknowledgement of safe receipt. The e-mail you receive with the details you entered is confirmation of registration for 11 plus testing.
Please only contact the School, if upon checking, you find the information you have submitted is incorrect. Before contacting the school, please check your junk e-mail for your copy of your submission. We prefer e-mail contact to Louise Bremner in the first instance.

A 'looked after child' (LAC) is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school.
A child is regarded has having been in state care outside of England if they were in the care of or were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation, or any other provider of care whose sole or main purpose is to benefit society.
A child is regarded as having been in state care outside of England if they were in the care of or were accommodated by a public authority, a religious organisation, or any other provider of care whose sole or main purpose is to benefit society. This includes children who were adopted under the Adoption Act 1976 (see Section 12 adoption orders) and children who were adopted under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (see Section 46 adoption orders). Child arrangements orders are defined in Section 8 of the Children Act 1989, as amended by Section 12 of the Children and Families Act 2014. Child arrangements orders replace residence orders and any residence order in force prior to 22 April 2014 is deemed to be a child arrangements order. See Section 14A of the Children Act 1989 which defines a ‘special guardianship order’ as an
order appointing one or more individuals to be a child’s special guardian (or special guardians).
If you have answered yes to this question, please read the information regarding Pupil Premium below very carefully as evidence needs to be provided by 31st October 2025. Children who are eligible for the Pupil Premium on this date may receive priority for a place based on the current entry criteria - please see the school's admission policy.
Children eligible for the Pupil Premium are those in Reception to Year 6 who are, or have ever been, entitled to free school meals (excluding Universal Free School Meals in Reception, Y1 and Y2), based on their family income, prior to the closing date for application for a school place; 31st October in the year prior to entry for places in Year 7. See The Admissions Code (2021), Section 1.41 which states that the pupil premium is additional funding paid annually to schools under Section 14 of the
Education Act 2002 for the purposes of supporting the attainment of disadvantaged children.
Parents of children eligible for the Pupil Premium (Y6) at the time of application to the home Local Authority must have indicated that this is the case directly to The King’s School, prior to, or when applying for a place through their home Local Authority.
The King’s School then requires parents to request that their son’s primary school provides verifiable evidence of Pupil Premium eligibility directly to The King’s School no later than 31st October in the year prior to entry for Year 7.
The school reserves the right to withdraw the offer of a place if the offer has been made on the basis of an incorrect, fraudulent or misleading application.
Please read carefully if you have stated that your son's first language is NOT English.
Your son will sit the 11 plus under standard conditions and not be entitled to any additional support for his language ability if he has been in the UK for 3 years or more or been educated at an International School where some or all of the curriculum is taught in English.
Home Address
Throughout the process we work with primary schools to:
- Provide familiarisation materials for use in school where the Primary School agrees to administer
- Obtain information about special testing arrangements for those students with SEN or EAL. Please note for access arrangements to be applied in the 11 plus tests any reasonable adjustments should be the child's normal way of working at Primary, in addition to a demonstrable history of provision and need.
- Provide 11 plus scores to the Head Teachers in October.
- Communicate with regard to supporting evidence of eligibility for full pupil premium (FSM).
