What is the 11 Plus examination ?
In locations where state-funded grammar schools are still in operation or for applicants to some elite private schools, the 11+ test is required.

The 11+ is a test used in areas where state-funded grammar schools remain or for those seeking admission to some selective private schools. For admission to Year 7 in UK schools, the 11 plus entrance exam determines a child's suitability for grammar schools or other academically selective institutions.

When are the 11 Plus examinations held?
The 11 Plus exams are usually held in September, at the start of the school year. This allows children to practise during their summer vacation. Their results will be available to parents in October, allowing them to apply to their preferred secondary schools.
