| Detail | The school refers to a Designated Transport Area (DTA) defined by Lincolnshire County Council. Girls in the DTA test via Boston High School at their primary school; some named schools outside the DTA can also test at their primary school; if outside the DTA and not at one of those schools, the child can test at Boston High School. The school says transport may be provided within the DTA subject to Lincolnshire policy, and that oversubscription criteria are detailed in the admissions policy. |
| Competition | Historically, we have always been able to accommodate all girls who achieved the required standardised score in their 11+ test. |
