Schools in Bourne
Bourne has 10 schools including 6 primaries and 2 secondaries in Lincolnshire. Nine of the ten schools operate as academies, meaning each sets its own admissions criteria - though in practice most follow the LA's standard distance-based tiebreaker for oversubscription.
Bourne Grammar School is partially selective and requires the Lincolnshire 11+ transfer test, so parents of children approaching Year 6 should register for the test by the deadline in June. For non-selective secondary places, Bourne Community College allocates via Lincolnshire's co-ordinated scheme.
