Moving to Market Deeping area from Kent

Hello,

We are moving to Market Deeping from Kent, our DD attends a Grammar School in Kent and is currently in Year 8. Does anyone know if DD will be required to take another 11plus type test to get into a Grammar school in Lincs? We are thinking that she could attend either the Bourne Grammar School or Spalding High School.

Thank you

Yes, generally the Lincolnshire Grammar schools require another test for entry. My information is a little out of date but both of these schools used to use NfER tests very similar to the 11+ for year 8 entry. Check with the schools for more up to date information. If you can visit the schools it would be helpful to you as they are different in character as well as Spalding being all girls and Bourne mixed.
