Admissions
Admission to Years 7 to 11 at Carre's is selective. The school states that it accepts boys in "the top 25% of the ability range". For entry into Year 7, prospective pupils sit the eleven-plus examination to assess aptitude. Pupils must meet the pass score determined by the school; the test is set by GL Assessment on behalf of the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools.
