Queen Elizabeth's High School is a selective grammar school and children wishing to come to our school at the start of their secondary education need to sit the Lincolnshire 11+ tests during the start of Year 6 (primary school) and entry depends upon qualifying in the 11+ tests. 

Registration is now closed for testing for entry in September 2026, please email [email protected] if you have any questions. Key dates and information for entry in Year 7 September 2026 can be found here.

Applications for a school place must be made through your Local Authority and not the school. If you do not apply for a school place through your Local Authority, your child will not be offered a place at the school on National Offer Day, regardless of their 11+ score.

If your child has recently sat the 11+ and you would prefer for us not to share the results with your child's primary school, please complete the form here.

For entry in Year 7 in September 2027, information and registration will be made available here in January 2026. The deadline to register your child for the 11+ will be Friday 20 March 2026.

When preparing your child to sit the tests, we consider that the two familiarisation tests carried out by us are sufficient preparation for the tests. However, familiarisation papers are available to purchase from various outlets or free to download from the GL Assessment website. Please ensure the multiple choice format is purchased. The ISBN numbers for the familiarisation papers that we recommend are:
