Langley Grammar School Open Events Frequently-asked Questions Here is a collection of questions which parents have asked at our face to face and online Open events over the last two or three years.

When do the 11+ results get issued?
Are allowances made for summer-born babies?
Is it true if child is 10yrs old, he gets extra 15 marks for his young age?
Is there any allowance being made for Covid and the disruption to schools over the last three years? | | --- | | • We expect 11+ results to be available in mid-October this year.
• Raw scores are age-standardised; this is a complex statistical procedure which involves comparing a child’s score to the whole cohort and to those of the same age in years and months. It is not as simple as having marks added or taken away. The effect is to treat all children as if they were born in the same month.
• No allowances are being made in the test as all schools have been impacted by Covid. The 11+ test identifies the upper one third of the ability range irrespective of the overall performance of the cohort compared to previous years. Individual covid-related circumstances can be addressed through the appeals process if parents believe these have impacted performance in the 11+ examination.
