Register for the 11+ test

11+ Admissions Test Registration

Registration for students currently in Year 5 for the 11+ Admissions Test will open in January 2027. Please check back here then for further details.. 

Parents need to be aware that, for the purpose of admissions, the School takes as the home address the place of residence where the pupil lives for the majority of the school term time with a parent who has parental responsibility as defined in the Children Act 1989.  You should contact the School (01778 422288) if you require further information or clarification on how this policy operates.

The Year 7 Admissions Test involves a Verbal Reasoning test and a Non-Verbal & Spatial Reasoning test, held on adjacent Saturday mornings at the School.  The tests are agreed by the Consortium of Lincolnshire Grammar Schools.  11+ testing in 2027 for entry into Year 7 in 2028 is as follows:

Verbal Reasoning test - Date to be confirmed

Non-Verbal & Spatial Reasoning test - Date to be confirmed

Both papers in the 11+ test need to be sat for a valid full score to be achieved.

Familiarisation Session

As part of the Year 7 Admissions Test, there is a familiarisation session which is not mandatory.  However, we do recommend that students attend this session to familiarise themselves with examination conditions. This date will be in early September 2027 at Bourne Grammar School, although some children will complete this at their Primary School prior to the formal assessment.  Confirmation of the location of the familiarisation session will be sent when registration is complete.

More information

Please note that the same tests are used in all Lincolnshire Consortium Grammar Schools and therefore may only be taken once in the school year in preparation for application to any of the Schools in the Lincolnshire Consortium. 

If you have any queries, please contact Mrs Revell, Admissions Manager, at the School directly via 01778 422288.
