- 2026 oversubscription criteria
-
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.
- Pupils who have reached the required score and who are looked after or previously looked after.
- 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.
- Pupils living within the designated free transport area (our traditional catchment area) who have reached the required score and who are eligible for pupil premium.
- Pupils living within the designated free transport area (our traditional catchment area) and who have reach the required score.
- 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 time of application who will still be attending the school at the time of admission and who reach the required score. Children must be attending the feeder primary by 14 December to qualify as within the catchment for offers on national offer day.
- 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.
- Pupils not living in the designated free transport area or attending a primary school in this area who have a sibling at the school at the time of application who will still be attending the school at the time of admissionand who have reached the required score.
- Pupils not living in the designated free transport area who have reached the qualifying standard for entry and who are eligible for pupil premium or the servie premium.
- Pupils not living in the designated free transport area or atending a primary school in the area who reached 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.

Applicants must achieve at least 5 GCSEs at grade 5 or higher with a minimum of grade 5 in English and Mathematics.

- Sixth form oversubscription criteria
-
If there are too many external applicants who have reached the required academic standard for acceptance, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which applicants to admit to the Sixth Form:
1. Looked-after children in local authority care
2. Applicants in order of the highest capped GCSE points score (this is the points score of the student's eight highest GCSE grades)
3. Applicants in increasing order of driving distance between the student's permanent residence and the school. (This is the tie-breaker criterion if one is needed).
In the event of a number of students having exactly the same score then the governors will apply a tie-breaker based on the straight line distance (measured electronically by the local authority between the post office address point of the home and the post office address point of the academy), with the student living closest to the academy being given the place.
If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted. Looked After and Previously Looked After Children will be allocated before other children.
