11 Plus Tuition for King Edward VI Academy

King Edward VI Academy is a bilateral school in Spilsby, meaning it provides both grammar (selective) and secondary modern (non-selective) education under one roof. Children who reach the required standard in the Lincolnshire 11+ are placed in the grammar stream, while others join the secondary modern stream.

Children who wish to join the grammar stream take the Lincolnshire Consortium 11+ and must reach the qualifying standard, while families seeking a non-selective place do not need a qualifying score. All applicants name the school on the Lincolnshire Common Application Form.

The grammar stream 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.

King Edward VI Academy serves Spilsby and the surrounding area, drawing pupils from as far as Skegness. After 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, and families seeking only a non-selective place do not need to register.
