Bourne 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. Looked after or previously looked after children, including those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and cease to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2. There is a brother or sister on roll at the school at the time of application.
3. Children of staff.
4. 35 places available to students who are eligible for the Pupil Premium or to children whose parent(s)/guardian(s) are serving in the regular UK Armed forces, to the children of regular armed forced personnel who were serving in the past 6 years, or to children who are in receipt of a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and the War Pensions Scheme because their parent(s)/guardian(s) died on active service with the UK armed forces. They must achieve the minimum qualifying standard. Priority will be given to the child who lives closest to the school.
5. Straight line distance from the home to the school, priority given to those who live closest.

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.

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.

The entry criteria for the Sixth Form are published in the Sixth Form Prospectus each year. To gain entry, students are required to achieve the overarching entry requirements and the subject specific entry requirements.

3. The highest grade achieved in the relevant subject or subjects, or for those subjects not available at GCSE or equivalent, a relevant subject specified in the School’s Sixth Form Prospectus
4. The highest average points score achieved across all GCSE subjects taken by the applicant
5. Straight line distance from home to the School, with the applicant living nearer to the School having priority. This would be the tie-breaker if necessary.
