Schools in Alford
Alford in Lincolnshire has 6 schools in the catchment.school database: 4 primaries and 2 secondaries — Queen Elizabeth's Grammar Alford, a selective academy, and John Spendluffe Foundation Technology College. Lincolnshire County Council coordinates non-selective admissions, but Queen Elizabeth's Grammar operates its own selective admissions process requiring a qualifying entrance test.
Two of Alford's 6 schools are currently at or above their published admission number, and 2 schools carry a religious designation. For families targeting Queen Elizabeth's Grammar, the entrance test is the first hurdle; grammar places are allocated to qualifying pupils by distance thereafter. Families without a selective grammar preference apply through Lincolnshire's standard round to John Spendluffe or the primary schools, which include The St Margaret's Church of England School in nearby Withern.
