Questions parents ask
- Which 11+ test do grammar schools in North Yorkshire use?
- North Yorkshire's grammar schools do not all use one test, so check the test on each school's card. A child who wants more than one school may need to register for more than one test.
- When does my child sit the test?
- Usually in September of Year 6, for a place in Year 7 the next September, after registering in the spring or summer of Year 5. The registration page has this year's dates.
- Do we have to live in the area?
- Not always to sit the test, but many schools give priority by distance or a catchment area. Read each school's admissions policy on its website before you choose.
- What is the pass mark?
- It is set by the area or the school, and it can change every year. We do not show it, because an old mark can mislead; the registration page has the current rules.
