Entry requirements
Students must sit the 11+ entrance test at the start of Year 6 and achieve the minimum standardised score on both papers. After qualifying, families apply through Lincolnshire County Council. The school provides DTA-based testing arrangements and personal visits for Year 6 families once the main open evening has passed.

The school says the 11+ test is sat at the start of Year 6 in September and that 11+ results are emailed to parents in mid October. On the captured page, registration for the 2026 entry round was already closed and families who still wished to test were told to contact the school directly.
