HOW DO GRAMMAR SCHOOLS SELECT THEIR PUPILS?

As previously mentioned, the selection process is based upon pupils’ 11-Plus Exam. This exam is usually taken in the last year of primary school. Pupils are usually tested based on the following:

• Numerical reasoning;

• Verbal reasoning;

• English comprehensive, grammar and punctuation;

• Non-verbal reasoning;

• Creative writing.

Despite these are the core criteria upon which pupils are selected, grammar schools selection process can vary. some schools admit successful students solely based on the ranking order results, skimming out the best pupils off the top of the list. Though, some other schools will consider other criteria such as living distance from the school or whether they have siblings there along with the ranking order.
