Admissions realismAdmissions realism: not yet assessed
Admissions realism depends on your home postcode and the school's published allocation data. Enter your postcode on this page to get a more specific assessment, and always verify the latest policy on the school's official admissions page.
This is a selective school. Admission usually requires passing an entrance test. Check the school's admissions policy for test registration deadlines.

Entry requirements
Spalding Grammar School normally admits boys at age 11 who achieve an agreed standard in two entrance tests taken during the final year of primary school. The policy states that the county qualification score is a total standardised score of 220 or above across both tests.
Exam dates and admissions evidence
The official 2027 testing letter says the online registration must be completed by Tuesday 31 March 2026 and that parents will receive a further letter with important dates after the registration deadline. The reviewed policy states that admission is offered to boys who reach the agreed standard of 220 across two entrance tests. In this pass, the school-owned 2027 materials reviewed did not expose an exact open-evening date or exact test dates in plain text, so those structured fields were left blank.
