Spalding High School (Spalding, Lincolnshire) (girls grammar school)

Request

1. I would like to know the number of pupils/students who were offered a place at Spalding High School (Spalding, Lincolnshire) (girls grammar school) for the last five years and their official residential address was outside the catchment area of the Spalding High School for Year 7 intake?

2. The actual number of places allocated in Year 7 September entry at Spalding High School (Spalding, Lincolnshire) (girls grammar school) for the last 5 years and the PAN.

3. How many were below the qualifying standard of 220? (if known)

4. What's the lowest qualifying standard score accepted in the last 5 years for Year 7 intake? (if known)

Decision

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. There is no catchment area for Spalding High School, and therefore we are unable to provide data on this.

3. 2, one due to an EHCP naming the school and one due to an error in marking, which wasn’t identified until after the child had started at the school.  

4. 220

N.B. If the appeal panel deem that a non-qualified applicant should be classed as 'qualified', this would be updated to allow the applicant to sit on the school's reserve list. Spalding High doesn't use 'score' as part of its oversubscription criteria, so therefore irrelevant. What matters is whether the applicant has reached the 220 pass mark, or not.
