Going to Secondary School in Lincolnshire 2022/23 Foreword Dear Parent or Carer As Chief Executive, I am pleased to introduce 'Going to School in Lincolnshire' to you and to thank you for considering our schools. Our standards are high and children thrive in our schools. We want every child to develop and achieve their full potential and we need your support as parents and carers to help us. This partnership is vital in helping our young people become independent and responsible citizens who can make a positive contribution to society. Please take the opportunity to visit schools, where you will find happy children with excellent staff working in a range of different ways to fulfill each child's potential. I know our teachers will be pleased to show you round their school to see the wonderful work that is being done. Debbie Barnes Chief Executive This guide is for parents of children in Year 6 who are due to transfer to secondary school. There is one school in Lincolnshire that admits children from Year 10 - Lincoln University Technical College (UTC). If your child is in Year 9 and you would like to apply for a place at this school you should contact them directly as the timescales in this guide are different for this school.

The responsible body is known as the 'Admissions authority'. Later in this booklet, there is a list of all schools and this also details who the admissions authority is for that school.
