Alford Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School

Where the number of applications is more than the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit.

1. Pupils who have reached the required score and who are looked after or previously looked after.
2. Pupils living within the designated free transport area (our traditional catchment area) who have a sibling at the school at the time of application who will still be attending the school at the time of admission and who have reached the required score.
3. Pupils living within the designated free transport area (our traditional catchment area) without a sibling at the school who have reached the required score.
4. Pupils who do not live within our designated free transport area, but attend the primary schools within it (Alford, Huttoft, Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea, Theddlethorpe, Willoughby and Withern), who have siblings at the school at the time of application who will still be attending the school at the time of admission and who reach the required score.
5. Pupils who do not live within our designated free transport area but attend the primary schools within it (Alford, Huttoft, Mablethorpe, Sutton-on-Sea, Theddlethorpe, Willoughby and Withern) without a sibling at the school and who reach the required score.
6. Pupils not living in the designated free transport area or attending a primary school in this area who reach the required score

In the case of oversubscription from pupils, who have reached the required score, pupils will be ranked according to the 11+ scores and admitted in descending order of score.  In the event of children having the same score the tie-break will be straight line distance, with the child living closer having higher priority. If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted.  There are entrance exams for admission into a grammar school. Details about the testing arrangements can be obtained from the school.  A map of the catchment area can be obtained from the school.

This is a grammar school and applicants must meet the required standard in the admissions exam to be allocated a place. See the school's full admissions policy for more information.
