LGLancaster Girls' Grammar School 11+ admissions

Assessment route not published.

Eligibility

Girls must sit the 11+ Entrance Test, achieve the cohort's required Pass Mark, and apply through the coordinated admissions arrangements with the school named on the Common Application Form.

Score policy

Two standardised English and Mathematics tests are combined and ranked; the Pass Mark is determined for each cohort and can rise or fall, and achieving it does not guarantee a place.

Registration

GIAS does not publish the current test registration URL.

Published area: City of Lancaster district council boundary, including the wider district shown in Appendix 4.

This is the district council boundary, not just Lancaster city centre or a school-distance radius. Appendix 4 shows the policy map; confirm a full address with the school or Lancashire district-council lookup. Residence is assessed at application. Home is where the child normally lives and sleeps for more than half of Sunday-to-Thursday nights in term time; a factual 50/50 split uses the application address. Other owned/rented properties may require proof. Notify Lancashire and the home authority promptly about moves and provide address/date evidence. Returning service/Crown families may use the evidenced intended address, or unit/quartering address on request.

Year 7 PAN is 145. The Admission Committee sets the pass mark for each cohort; there is no fixed qualifying score or guaranteed place. EHCP admissions follow the statutory process; qualified EHCP-named applicants are allocated first within PAN. The priority order is: care/previously-care applicants, including adoption after overseas state care, at the pass mark or up to and including 5% below; Lancaster-district premium applicants with the same concession; other qualified district applicants; qualified children of school staff; outside-district premium applicants with the same concession; then other qualified applicants. Declare premium eligibility on the Entrance Test Form; the school checks with the current school. The policy does not define an FSM look-back period, so confirm premium eligibility rather than assuming a generic six-year rule. Staff can be full/part-time and teaching/non-teaching, with two years employed at application and an HR letter. Birth/adopted children can live elsewhere; stepchildren or a cohabiting partner’s children must share the staff home after at least one year’s cohabitation. Within each Year 7 category, test rank comes first, then nearer straight-line distance between OS home and school address points, then a lottery witnessed by a person independent of the school. Multiple births applying together to the same year group are all offered if at least one gains a place; confirm how academic eligibility applies to each child. Register for the test by noon on 9 September 2026; it is on 26 September. Late registration is considered only where required under the Equality Act. A separate home-authority CAF naming the school is due 31 October. The waiting list is reranked by criteria through 31 December 2027, with the same ties; time waiting gives no priority. Section 15 specifies pupils reaching the full pass mark, despite the 5% concessions: confirm waiting-list eligibility for concession applicants. Fair Access allocations take precedence.
