Warwickshire 11+ - Children's Educational Material 11+ TM
The Warwickshire 11+ exams are for entrance in to five grammar schools and one bilateral school in the area. Birmingham and Warwickshire share the same test. The schools use tests from CEM Centre for Evaluation & Monitoring.® CEM® Centre 11+ tests are not tutor-proof and are one of the easiest to prepare for. Complete solutions are available using WordBuilder.co.uk and CoolCleverKids.co.uk.
Warwickshire grammar schools are backward and still believe in the outdated concept of catchment areas. They do not believe all children should have an equal opportunity to attend a grammar school and operate bizarre address requirements that effectively amounts to local apartheid. There is nothing stopping families moving outside the catchment area after the first term. All sixth forms are now mixed, with the exception of Stratford Girl`s Grammar School which severely discriminates against boys and indicates a shameful misandric attitude which would not be tolerated if reversed.
GLA Assessment (GLA) tests will be used for 2023 entry.

GLA Assessment® (GLA)
Weighting is 50% for verbal ability, 25% for numerical ability 25% for non-verbal ability.
Each paper is approximately 60 minutes in duration and will be divided into timed sections, and instructions will be given on an audio soundtrack.
Most questions are multiple choice and all answers are marked on a separate machine-readable answer sheet. There will be a short break between the two test papers. |
All sixth forms have are mixed gender, except Stratford Girl`s Grammar School, which indicates a misandric attitude. Boys already have fewer grammar school places than girls. This policy disadvantages boys further.
Qualifying scores in the Southern area are higher than the Eastern area and many children who qualify for places in the Eastern Area would have little chance of entry in the more elite Southern area schools. There are fewer grammar school places for boys than girls.
The Eastern priority circle (Area 1), has a radius of approximately 10 miles around Rugby, from the Water Tower.
Rugby and the surrounding areas (Area 2). These areas are outlined below.
Rugby plus the parishes of Dunchurch, Thurlaston, Leamington Hastings, Birdingbury, Grandborough, Wolfhamcote, Willoughby, Binley Woods, Brinklow, Brandon and Bretford, Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Bubbenhall, Wolston, Church Lawford, Long Lawford, Stretton-on-Dunsmore, Princethorpe, Frankton, Marton, Bourton and Draycote, Churchover, Clifton-on-Dunsmore, Combe Fields, Cosford, Easenhall, Harborough Magna, Kings Newnham, Little Lawford, Monks Kirby, Newton and Biggin, Pailton, Stretton-under-Fosse, Wibtoft, Willey and Withybrook.
Overlap Area
Ryton-On-Dunsmore, Bubbenhall and Princethorpe are in both the Southern and Inner Eastern Areas.
For entry, schools expect families to move by 31st December. This changed after LSS unlawfully withdrew a grammar school place and unlawfully refused to allow an appeal and found at severe fault by the Local Government Ombudsman and an Independent appeals panel ordered the school to offer a place.
Automatic Qualifying Marks (AQM)
The Automatic Qualifying Mark is set by a Committee of Reference (a panel of headteachers and teachers appointed according to the terms of reference for East Warwickshire). The Heads of the area’s selective schools or their representatives will be members of the Area Committee. They may set an AQM that results in children out of area being offered places on offer day if there are not enough suitable candidates within area (as occurred in 2013-15).
The southern area is a catchement based highly selective area. On offer day, the highest scores above the AQM within the catchment area win places. If places are not filled, out of area children can be offered places.
The Eastern area is a dual catchment based selective area, allowing lower scores in area 1 to win places, at the expense of higher scoring children who happen to live in area 2. They have introduced lower scores for pupil premium children. This appears to constitute social engineering to ensure a diverse socio-economic group at the schools, as opposed to selecting children solely upon ability. If 11+ tests are tutor-proof, there is no logic to this stance.
From 2014 entry the weighting changed to 50% Verbal Reasoning, 25% Numeric Reasoning and 25% NVR.
