Skegness Grammar School
Skegness, Lincolnshire, East Midlands · PE25 2QS
A selective state grammar serving Skegness and the wider Lincolnshire coast, Skegness Grammar School combines academic selection with a notably broad social mix. Just over a quarter of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, a higher proportion than at many grammar schools, which speaks to its role in the local community. With 634 pupils against a capacity of 898, the school has room to grow and offers a less crowded environment than its size band might suggest.
