How catchment works at Skegness Grammar School

Skegness Grammar School draws its intake using a designated catchment or distance priority around Skegness. To be considered your child first needs to pass Lincolnshire 11+ (GL, VR+NVR), which makes them eligible but does not guarantee a place.

Pass (220, or 210 if PP); then looked-after/sibling/staff, transport-area by score, then all other areas by score. The qualifying distance shifts every year with demand, so a postcode that was inside the catchment one year can fall outside it the next.

Bottom line: for Skegness Grammar School, both things matter, your child must pass the 11+, and you generally need to live close enough to clear that year's distance cut-off.
