11+ at Welbourn C of E Primary School

At Welbourn C of E Primary School, we support our children in taking the 11+ test in September every year when children are in Year 6. The 11+ test is administered from the Grammar schools in Sleaford or Grantham on two consecutive Saturday mornings in September - if parents wish their child to participate.

At the end of the summer term whilst in Year 5, all children are able to take the practice test which is sent to us by the local grammar schools. As a school, we are not permitted to send this paper home, but we do notify parents when this is happening. The teacher looks at the papers and can then provide an overview of any areas of difficulty the child had in the practice paper- parents can then decide on the support they would like their child to have, whether this is private tutoring or working through workbooks or support by parents at home; school do not provide this.

Over the years, we have successfully supported children in reaching the required standard, and many have gone on to The Kings School, Grantham; Carre's Grammar School, Sleaford and Kesteven and Sleaford High School to continue on their educational journeys.
