Timeline and key dates for your child's applications for the 11+ in Gloucestershire

Applying for the 11+ Admissions test can be daunting, but I can help guide you through the application process. Below you will find the important dates, whatever year your child is currently in. You will also find the links to register your interest with me in the 11+ tutoring programme and to arrange an informal free assessment to discuss you and your child's individual plan.

In Year 4

If you and your child have decided you'd like to apply for a place at a grammar school, now is the time to consider joining an 11+ tutoring programme for the start of Year 5, as places get booked up quickly.
