Ayscoughfee Hall School
11+ Admissions Guide 2026

Ayscoughfee Hall School is an independent, non-selective co-educational day school for pupils aged 3 to 11, located in Spalding. Founded in 1920 as a kindergarten and later the preparatory department of Spalding Girls' High School, it became a school in its own right in 1958. The school is a company limited by guarantee, overseen by a board of governors, and has recently welcomed a newly refurbished infant centenary block. The school aims to provide a caring, supportive family environment where young people are educated to be tolerant, socially responsible and independent of mind. It offers a broad-based education through excellent teaching and small class sizes, with a twofold purpose: to enable children to learn as much as possible according to their individual abilities, and to be happy in an environment of learning. Pupils are mainly from the local area. The school has identified pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, some of whom receive additional specialist support, and children with particular gifts and talents are given opportunities to excel, with interventions in place to extend them further.
