Entry To Year 7 Sept 2027
ADMISSION AND 11+ TEST REGISTRATION PROCEDURE FOR ENTRY INTO YEAR 7 SEPTEMBER 2027
The online form for registration for 11+ testing for Entry 2027 opened on 7 January 2026 and closed on 31 March 2026.
The registration form will reopen on 1 May 2026 for late registrations. Please note that if you register your daughter after this date, we may not be able to accommodate her on the main test days shown below, which may delay her results. Final dates for late tests will not be decided until the new academic year in September.
11+ Registration Form September 2027 Entry
Please note that the registration is made through the School for students to be able to sit the tests here, whilst the application is made through your home Local Authority between September and October 2026. The two are quite separate but necessary procedures in order that a student be considered for a place in September 2027.
The selection procedure will be carried out by the schools and not by the Local Authority. The Lincolnshire Grammar Schools will use Verbal and Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning tests that are specifically produced by G L Assessments (GLA). There will be two tests, both at the beginning of Year 6, and students will sit the tests at Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School, if they are registered here.
Please note that the same tests are used in all Lincolnshire Consortium Grammar Schools and therefore may be taken only once in the school year in preparation for application to any of the Schools in the Lincolnshire Consortium. Please click this link for the other schools in the Consortium

Practice Papers
Practice papers will be made available to Lincolnshire feeder primary schools. If the practice papers cannot be used in your daughter's primary school, e.g. if your daughter is at an out of county primary school, you can obtain commercially printed practice papers published by G L Assessment. These come in packs, together with a guide for parents and an administration manual and mark scheme, and are available from online retailers. They are representative of the actual test papers but not identical. The actual test papers may include item types which are not in the practice papers e.g. spatial reasoning, or omit item types which are. Since the actual tests are designed to meet Lincolnshire Grammar Schools' specific requirements, their format and layout may also differ from the standard practice papers. Nonetheless, the practice papers give children an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the general nature of the tests and to practise aspects such as following instructions carefully and working to a time limit. If purchasing packs of tests, please ensure that you buy the MULTIPLE CHOICE FORMAT, NOT the Standard Format tests. The following familiarisation papers illustrate this format:
Verbal Reasoning

Pack 2-ISBN 9780708727621
Pack 3-ISBN 9780708727638

Free familiarisation material: GL Assessment has made available samples of Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning tests which parents may also wish to look at with their daughter to aid familiarisation. These practice papers are free of charge and can be accessed via the following link:

Please note that we do NOT use 11+ English or Maths tests so please ignore these sample papers.
