It tests students in Year 6 using the 11+ (GL) assessments in Math and English.
About The Exam:
The 11+ entrance exam consists of two multiple-choice test papers, covering English and Mathematics. Both papers are taken during the same session.
The scores are fully age-standardised and the scores from the two tests will be combined into an overall entrance test score for each candidate. Candidates who achieve a combined score of 210 or higher will be considered for admission.
Essential information:
The School has a strict oversubscription policy. If there are more applicants than available places in Year 7, allocations will be determined by the distance from the families home to the school.
To apply for a place you must complete the online registration form and the local authority (LA) Common Application Form (CAF).
Barnet’s is one of the UK’s grammars, so there is strong competition for a Year 7 place. We suggest that you don’t to leave 11 Plus preparation until the last minute. Instead, set-up a plan to ensure your child understands the work that will be required.Starting revision early is important. The sooner revision starts, the less likely they’ll be to become overwhelmed by the workload.
