A clear, tailored learning plan for Buckinghamshire 11 Plus success
Our live online 11 Plus lessons are available for Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 children in Saxilby and surrounding West Lindsey and Lincoln fringe villages, including Sturton by Stow, Stow, Ingham, Scampton, Burton Waters, Brattleby, Newton on Trent and Doddington, across the LN1 2, LN2, LN6, DN21 and NG23 postcode areas. Saxilby lies in the non-selective part of Lincolnshire, where children attend comprehensive secondary schools. Families seeking selective Grammar School education apply to schools outside the Lincoln area, most commonly Queen Elizabeth’s High School, Gainsborough and Caistor Grammar School, both well within reach of the LN1 area.
Families in Saxilby and nearby LN1 villages can benefit from expert 11 Plus preparation from the comfort of home, as every lesson is taught live online. Timings are arranged to fit around school routines, extracurricular activities and family life.
Why Families in Saxilby Choose 11 Plus Tuition
It is common for Saxilby families to explore 11 Plus tuition when they realise that selective school admissions require preparation beyond what children usually encounter in non-selective Lincoln primary schools. They are often facing one or more of these situations:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Saxilby Families
Saxilby is located within Lincolnshire’s non-selective Lincoln area. With strong competition from families living in selective areas, children in Saxilby often benefit from early, structured preparation for the 11 Plus.
For the Lincolnshire Consortium test, the qualifying standard is a minimum combined age-standardised score of 220 across both GL Assessment papers. Scores are age-standardised after the test to ensure fairness across year groups. Reaching 220 makes a child eligible for consideration but does not guarantee a place. Each school allocates places using its own oversubscription criteria.
Queen Elizabeth’s High School (Morton Terrace, Gainsborough, DN21 2ST), a co-educational selective academy and member of the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools, has a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 188 Year 7 places annually.
Caistor Grammar School (approximately 15 miles, PAN: 96, rated Outstanding) is a co-educational selective academy using its own standalone Verbal Reasoning test, separate from the consortium. Using the consortium test result, families can additionally apply to any of the other 14 consortium schools across Lincolnshire, including King Edward VI Grammar School, Louth.
Out-of-area competition, two separate test systems, and the need to plan early explain why many Saxilby families begin structured 11 Plus preparation well in advance of Year 6 and look for expert support to give their child the strongest possible foundation.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Saxilby
Our 11 Plus tuition is available to families in Saxilby and the surrounding West Lindsey and Lincoln fringe villages, including Sturton by Stow, Stow, Ingham, Scampton, Brattleby, Newton on Trent, Doddington, Thorpe on the Hill and Skellingthorpe, across LN1 2, LN2, LN6, DN21 and NG23. We also prepare children attending local primary schools such as Saxilby Church of England Primary School and Newton on Trent Church of England Primary School.
In addition to supporting Saxilby families, we provide separate online 11 Plus preparation pathways for Gainsborough and Market Rasen children across the wider West Lindsey and Lincoln fringe area.
Many local children in Years 3, 4 and 5 are following a structured preparation programme for selective entry to Caistor Grammar School, King Edward VI Grammar School, Louth and other Grammar Schools across the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools.
For September 2027 entry, Lincolnshire Consortium registration has now closed. Parents should check the Lincolnshire Consortium website or contact their preferred Grammar School directly for next steps. For Caistor Grammar, check the Caistor Grammar admissions page separately for its own registration and test dates.
For children in Saxilby looking to join a Grammar School after the standard 11 Plus entry point, we offer personalised 12 Plus and 13 Plus preparation designed for late-entry assessments.
How a Saxilby Student Prepared for the Lincolnshire 11 Plus
A Year 4 child from Saxilby joined our programme with strong academic potential but no familiarity with Verbal Reasoning or Non-Verbal Reasoning, reflecting the experience of many pupils from non-selective Lincoln area primary schools. The family wanted to keep both Caistor Grammar School and Queen Elizabeth’s High School, Gainsborough, as options, so the preparation covered the requirements of both entrance tests. Through 18 months of structured live online lessons, regular home practice and timed mock examinations, the student developed confident strategies, methodical thinking and the composure needed to perform well on test day.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
The Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus and Caistor Grammar School’s standalone assessment both rely on GL Assessment multiple-choice Verbal Reasoning papers, covering word analogies, letter sequences, hidden words, code substitution, word connections and deductive reasoning exercises. For Saxilby pupils attending non-selective Lincoln area primary schools, these question types are entirely outside the standard curriculum. Our tutors introduce each skill progressively, helping children master every GL question style while improving their accuracy, reasoning techniques and time management. Where families are applying to both Caistor Grammar and consortium schools, Verbal Reasoning tuition prepares children for the expectations of both assessments. More information is available on our 11 Plus Preparation page.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
For entry to Queen Elizabeth’s High School, Gainsborough, and King Edward VI Grammar School, Louth and the wider Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools, children must complete a Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning paper. This GL Assessment test is not required for Caistor Grammar School, which uses only its own standalone Verbal Reasoning assessment. The consortium paper focuses on visual reasoning through shape patterns, matrix questions, reflections, rotations and spatial transformations. Because these skills are not taught in primary schools, most Saxilby pupils encounter them for the first time during 11 Plus preparation. Our tutors build each skill step by step until children can answer confidently and accurately under timed conditions. For Caistor-only applicants, this part of the programme is removed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who offers structured online 11 Plus preparation in Saxilby and the surrounding Lincolnshire villages?
Families in Saxilby and nearby LN1 villages can access Adnan Khan Tutoring’s live online 11 Plus programme for Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 children. Preparation is personalised around each child’s target schools, covering the Lincolnshire Consortium VR and NVR assessments, Caistor Grammar School’s standalone VR test, or both pathways.
Is Saxilby in a selective or non-selective area of Lincolnshire?
Saxilby lies within the non-selective Lincoln zone of Lincolnshire. Families who wish to pursue selective Grammar School education can actively opt in to the 11 Plus process and apply to Grammar Schools in the county’s selective areas.
What tests do children from Saxilby need to sit for a Grammar School entry?
This depends on the target school. For Caistor Grammar School only: children sit Caistor’s own two-paper Verbal Reasoning test. For Queen Elizabeth’s High School, Gainsborough or other Lincolnshire Consortium schools: children sit the consortium Verbal Reasoning paper (12 September 2026) and the Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning paper (19 September 2026).
What does the Lincolnshire 11 Plus exam include?
The Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus consists of two multiple-choice papers set by GL Assessment: a Verbal Reasoning paper and a Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning paper taken on consecutive Saturdays.
When should a child in Saxilby start 11 Plus preparation?
We recommend starting in Year 3 or Year 4. Children from non-selective Lincoln area primary schools have zero prior exposure to either Verbal Reasoning or Non-Verbal Reasoning.
What are the key dates for the Lincolnshire 11 Plus for 2027 Grammar School entry?
For the Lincolnshire Consortium: registration opened 9 January 2026, closed 31 March 2026. VR paper: Saturday 12 September 2026. NVR paper: Saturday 19 September 2026. Results emailed: 9 October 2026. CAF deadline: 31 October 2026. National Offer Day: 1 March 2027. For Caistor Grammar School, check the school’s admissions page directly; its registration and test dates run independently of the consortium timetable.
Is online 11 Plus tuition as effective as in-person lessons for Saxilby families?
Yes. Live online lessons with screen sharing, real-time teaching and immediate feedback deliver the same quality as in-person tuition. For families in Saxilby and the surrounding LN1 villages where specialist 11 Plus tutors are not locally available, online preparation is particularly valuable.
