11+ Familiarisation
11+ Familiarisation Sessions
We will offer 11+ familiarisation sessions on Wednesday 11 June 2025 and Thursday 12 June 2025 at 4:30pm.
The sessions are aimed at boys in Year 5.
The registration forms will open on Tuesday 22 April 2025 at the start of the summer term when the links below will become active and will close at 9:00am on a date to be confirmed or at an earlier date if the session is full.
The familiarisation sessions will be held in our Sports Hall and the intention is to help children to become familiar with this exam setting. Candidates will take a Mathematics paper and will be given an English paper with comprehension and composition questions to complete at home.
Both papers will be set by the school. Mark schemes will also be provided in order for the papers to be used diagnostically at home and all the papers will be available to download, free of charge, from our website.
See the links below.
Attending a session and taking a practice paper in an exam hall provides a valuable experience but this is not essential and all candidates for the actual 11+ will be welcome regardless of whether they have attended a familiarisation session.
Please note the test papers provided do not replicate the GL Assessment external papers. The intention of the practice session is to provide an opportunity for children to become familiar with taking a test in the exam venue.
Parents should also complete the 11+ registration form if they want their child to take the actual 11+ tests in September.
Familiarisation Materials
We are pleased to provide sets of familiarisation materials which we hope you will find useful in preparing for the 11+ tests. Example papers published by GL Assessment are also available by following the link below.
