About Skegness Grammar School
About Skegness Grammar School
Located in Skegness, Lincolnshire, The Skegness Grammar School is a co-educational grammar school. First opened in 1483 by the founder of Magdalen College Oxford, William de Waynflete, the school has operated on its current site since 1933. After spending some time as a grant-maintained school, it converted to academy status in 2012, and is under the sponsorship of the David Ross Education Trust, a multi-academy group responsible for the running of a number of schools across the country. The school is smaller than average, with around 650 students.
As a grammar school, admission to Skegness is selective on the basis of academic achievement, with an entrance examination being required of students in order to gain admission. While the school sixth form is mostly made up of students from the lower school, around 25 places are available for students from other schools, with admission being made here based on school reports and GCSE results. Our sixth form cohort averages at around 130 students.

“Leaders, staff and those responsible for governance work together effectively, with a common purpose to keep improving all aspects of the school.”
“Pupils are polite and courteous to each other and adults. They know how to behave well and understand why good behaviour is important. They conduct themselves very well in lessons and during social times. Low-level disruption in lessons is not tolerated, allowing pupils to focus on their learning.”
