11 Plus Tuition for Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School

Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School was founded in 1910 and holds academy status. It is a selective girls’ grammar school in Grantham, Lincolnshire, rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, and its most famous former pupil is Baroness Margaret Thatcher.

Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School has a Published Admission Number of around 180 places for Year 7 each year. The school is popular and competitive, so thorough preparation for the Lincolnshire 11+ is important.

Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School uses the Lincolnshire Consortium 11+, provided by GL Assessment. It tests reasoning only – a Verbal Reasoning paper and a Non-Verbal & Spatial Reasoning paper, both multiple-choice – with no Maths, English or creative writing. The papers are sat on Saturday 12th and Saturday 19th September 2026.

Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School does not operate a fixed catchment area, but after the qualifying standard and priority groups, places are allocated to children living closest to the school. Girls living nearer the school in the Grantham area are therefore prioritised when it is oversubscribed.

The Verbal Reasoning test is on Saturday 12th September 2026 and the Non-Verbal & Spatial Reasoning test on Saturday 19th September 2026. Registration closes at the end of June 2026; one registration covers any of the Lincolnshire consortium grammar schools.
