Entry requirements
Applicants must register on the school website to sit the Lincolnshire consortium 11+ and also apply for a secondary place through their home local authority by 31 October. KGGS states the qualifying standard for entry is a standardised score of 220, but reaching that standard does not guarantee a place.
Exam dates and admissions evidence
Current public KGGS pages for September 2027 entry show a live registration form and state that assessments are held on two Saturdays in September, with parents informed in October before the 31 October secondary deadline. The exact September 2026 test dates and the next Year 7 open evening date were not stated on the public pages reviewed.
