Entry into Years 8-11

Please see the Admission Policy Page for the Admission Policy, which provides information on 'Testing for in-year entry to Year 8 to 11' and 'Applying for a place - in-year admissions.'

Applying to start in years 8 to 11 – Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools states the qualifying score in a nationally standardised test required for consideration for a place.

Students who have achieved a minimum standardised qualifying score in the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools 11+ examination do not need to be re-tested. 

Registration for testing

If you wish your son to be considered for a place in Years 8–11, please download and complete the registration from the link below (available on 01 September each year) and send it to Louise Bremner. Students will only be invited for testing once a place becomes available in the relevant year group.

Applying for a place

To apply for an in-year place, an application must be made through Lincolnshire County Council as they co-ordinate admissions on behalf of the school. This should be done online at Lincolnshire School Admissions on the in-year application form.

The School prefers that a registration for testing is made and that pupils are tested at the school before an application is made to the Local Authority. However, not having sat the test does not prevent an application from being made.

Appeals

The parents/carers of any applicant who is not offered a place, subsequent to the submission of an application form through Lincolnshire County Council (in-year application) which is met by refusal, have the right to appeal to an independent panel whose decision will be binding on both the school and the appellant. Please see The King's School Grantham - Appealing for a Place for further details.
