Oversubscription policy — Candidates will only be considered eligible for admission if they are deemed to be of selective ability as a result of the testing process with a score of 220 or above. However, for children who are defined as in receipt of the Pupil Premium or Service Premium, they will be eligible for a place upon achieving a standardised score of 210 or more.
Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.
Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:
Looked after children and all previously looked after children.
Children with a sibling on roll at Skegness Grammar School at the time of application.
Children of staff employed at the school.
Children whose permanent address is within the school’s designated area for free transport with priority being given to the order of their total scores in the entrance tests.
Children from all other areas with priority being given to the order of their total scores in the entrance tests.
