More about entry from our guide

Year 6 entry, called The Prep, is part of Leicester Grammar School itself, with the same assessment day and fee as the senior years. Leicester Grammar Junior School and LGS Stoneygate are separate schools in the same trust, with their own admissions, so this page does not cover them.

See our page on Leicester Grammar Junior School.
