Adams' Grammar School
One of our stated aims is "to provide a grammar school education to pupils (boys aged 11 - 18 years and girls 16 - 18) who come within the top 25% of the population academically". As a state school educational tuition is free to all pupils.
For entry to Year 7 boys should have passed, or be approaching, their eleventh birthday on 31st August 2011. There are on average 4 applications for every available place in Year 7.
We use an entrance test designed to measure academic ability. For entry in September 2011 and onwards the test will consist of two forty-five minute papers which assess numeracy, literacy and problem-solving skills. Some of the questions are in multiple choice format. Samlpe test questions.
The examinationsfor entry to the school at age 11+ in September 2011 will be held at school on Friday 26th November 2010.
Every year the test content changes to ensure the tests remain fresh and engaging for the children who take them. We believe that they offer a fair assessment for all children, whatever their educational background, as far as this is possible. There are no commercially available resources that can be used for preparation. We believe that preparation for Key Stage 2 tests will provide suitable experience for tests of this duration (although the format and content will be different.)
