Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Crowland?
For Crowland’s Year 5 students, August arrives at exactly the right moment. With the primary school year behind them, children have time to consolidate what they’ve learned, address any remaining gaps in their reasoning, and build the timing and composure needed for the two separate Lincolnshire Consortium test dates in September. Crowland sits within the Crowland, Postland, Eye, and the PE4, PE5, and PE6 postcode areas, and is one of the officially named feeder parishes for Spalding Grammar School, Spalding High School, and Bourne Grammar School, the three grammar schools nearest to the town and the most realistic destination for local Year 7 applicants.
The period leading up to the 11 Plus exam in the summer is a crucial stage for Year 5 pupils. Once August arrives, children have finished their primary curriculum and can fully focus on strengthening their understanding, closing any remaining learning gaps, and improving both speed and confidence under timed conditions.

Why Families in Crowland Choose the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course
As the September Lincolnshire Consortium test dates approach, most families in Crowland turn to the 11 Plus summer booster course because two separate reasoning papers demand far more than casual revision can offer. Common reasons include:
Exam practice gap
Children need repeated, full-length practice under the exact timed conditions of both the Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning papers
Timing and speed
With two separate September sittings to prepare for, students need consistent pacing built up well in advance, not last-minute cramming before either test date
Reasoning subjects
Since the Lincolnshire Consortium test covers Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning exclusively, subjects with no place in the standard primary curriculum, families specifically seek out coaching that targets these skills directly
Self-study plateau
Many Crowland parents find that home revision flattens out by midsummer, and turn to expert tutor feedback to push their child's score meaningfully higher before September
Confidence building
Sitting realistic mock papers again and again throughout August means children walk into both test dates already familiar with the pressure, rather than facing it cold
Structured August learning
Families across Crowland and the surrounding South Holland villages prefer a dependable, supervised weekly programme to unstructured revision squeezed in around summer holidays

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Matters for Crowland Families
The Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools currently uses GL Assessment to provide 11+ Testing; this arrangement may change over time. Children must sit both the Verbal Reasoning paper (11 or 12 September 2026) and the Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning paper (18 or 19 September 2026) for a valid result; missing either one means the application cannot be processed.
In accordance with the Spalding High School policy, the published admission number for year 7 is 150. This standard is intended to identify the top 25% of children by ability in areas of Lincolnshire served by a grammar school.
Spalding High School is a girls’ grammar school. The school determines a child’s academic ability for admission by their performance in the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools’ 11+ examinations. Information about the Consortium is available on the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools website.
Spalding Grammar School’s admission policy says that if more than 150 feeder parish children qualify in a given year, the qualifying score itself is raised to manage numbers, meaning a strong score, not just a passing one, matters.
Spalding Grammar School’s admissions policy favours Crowland families: it gives priority to children living in its designated transport area, which explicitly includes Crowland as a feeder parish. After Looked After Children, feeder parish residents who meet the qualifying score of 220 are prioritised ahead of children from outside the area.
Our 11 Plus summer course helps bridge the gap between preparation and exam day. For many families in Crowland or nearby areas such as Holbeach and Barrowby, the 11 Plus Tutoring offers a summer course that improves timing, confidence, and full-paper technique across both reasoning papers before September.

Crowland is officially listed as a feeder parish for both Spalding Grammar School and Spalding High School. Once a child achieves the qualifying score of 220, those living in the feeder parishes, including Crowland, are prioritised ahead of children from outside the area, though a place is never guaranteed.
No. A standardised score of 220 qualifies a child for consideration, but if too many feeder parish children qualify in a given year, the school may raise the effective qualifying score to manage numbers. Places are not guaranteed even within the feeder parish.
