11 Plus Tuition for Kesteven and Sleaford High School

Kesteven and Sleaford High School was founded in 1902 and converted to academy status in 2011. It is a selective girls’ grammar school in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, with a co-educational sixth form, and works alongside Carre’s Grammar School for joint sixth-form provision.

Kesteven and Sleaford High School has a Published Admission Number of around 150 places for Year 7 each year. The school is highly popular, with demand for places outstripping supply, so thorough preparation for the Lincolnshire 11+ is essential.

Kesteven and Sleaford High 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 Sleaford High School does not operate a fixed catchment area and draws pupils from a wide rural area of South Lincolnshire. After the qualifying standard and priority groups, places are allocated to children living closest to the school, so location is an important factor 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.
