Children born between 1 September 2014 and 31 August 2015 are due to transfer to secondary school in September 2026. From 6 September 2025 you can apply online for a Year 7 place for the September 2026 entry.
Full details of how and when to apply for a place can be found on the Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) website - please click on the link below to go directly to the site (https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/school-admissions/going-school-lincolnshire-guide/2).
All children in Year 6 have the opportunity to visit local secondary schools through open evenings and ‘taster days’. We have a good liaison with all our local secondary schools and transition is made as smoothly as possible.
Your child will receive information about securing a place in a secondary school when they are in Years 5 and 6. This will include a letter, a parental preference form and a guide to the secondary transfer procedure. We offer an information meeting during Year 5 so that all parents have up-to-date details and advice about moving on to secondary school.
Parents also have the right to enter their children into the County 11+ selection procedures for a place at the local grammar schools. Details about the process are sent out to Year 5 pupils during the summer term. Further information about secondary education can be obtained from the Headteacher.
