11+ test provider for September 2026 entry (exam in September 2025)

The Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools has contracted with GL Assessment as the test provider for the 11+ examinations to be held in September 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The structure and format of the examinations with GL Assessment will be similar to those used under the previous provider. Pupils will sit two test papers, with questions covering a combination of verbal and non-verbal reasoning, English and mathematics. All marking and standardisation will be carried out by the test provider.

The eligibility score will continue to be set at 111 on a standardised scale.  Pupils who score 111 or above will be in the top 35% of the cohort sitting the examination and will be considered eligible for consideration for a grammar school place should their parents apply on their behalf.

The Slough Consortium has its own contract with GL Assessment and there will be no sharing of 11+ scores with any other schools.
