Queen Elizabeth’s High School has a Published Admission Number of 186 places for Year 7 each year. The school is popular and competitive, so thorough preparation for the Lincolnshire 11+ is important.

Queen Elizabeth’s High School uses the Lincolnshire Consortium 11+, provided by GL Assessment.

The papers are sat on Saturday 12th and Saturday 19th September 2026.

Queen Elizabeth’s High 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. Children living nearer the school in the Gainsborough area are therefore prioritised when it is oversubscribed.

Queen Elizabeth’s High School typically asks families to register by late March, ahead of the wider consortium deadline; one registration covers any of the Lincolnshire consortium grammar schools.
