3. What is the catchment area for Bourne grammar school?

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.

1-2. The school does not take the 11+ score into account when prioritising applicants (they just need to have passed the test), and therefore do not record the score against the application.

N.B. Figures based on those sitting the test at Bourne Grammar school in the Autumn wanting a place to start in Year 7 the following September. The offer data is based on offers made as at national offer day each year (1st March) Bourne Grammar School do not prioritise applications based on score.

Applicants just have to pass the test to be considered i.e., score 220 or above. Bourne Grammar School do not use 'catchment area' as part of its admission criteria and do not therefore prioritise applications based on them living in a particular area.
