11+ Calday Grange Grammar School
If your child is in a primary school in Wirral, it is likely that they will take the 11+ tests in at school. Pupils who live outside Wirral will take the test at a test centre, usually Calday Grange Grammar School. The assessment is a verbal reasoning test and each boy sits two such tests. There are also practice tests which follow exactly the same procedure as the actual tests.
Applying from outside Wirral
If you are applying from outside Wirral, you will need to follow the admissions process for your local authority. If you are applying from outside Wirral you will need to return a “Test Request” form to Wirral. This form can be obtained from Wirral Local Authority (LA). The purpose of the “Test Request” form is to let Wirral LA know how many test papers need to be ordered. You will need to place Calday Grange Grammar School as a preference on your LA admissions form.
If applying from an address in Cheshire or Liverpool you should obtain your preference form from your son’s primary school or your local authority.
If you are applying from an address in Wales you will need to complete the Wirral LA form.
The assessment is based on the results of two verbal reasoning tests. The tests are standardised to take account of each child’s exact age in years and months. The two test scores are then added together to provide a final score.
Tests will be held on 11 and 14 September (practice tests) and 18 and 21 September (real tests). Parents whose children will attend a test centre will be informed of the arrangements by the end of August.
