13+ Common Entrance Exam schools

  • The 13+ Common Entrance Test is also conducted by senior schools to assess eligibility for admission.
  • This exam is mostly held in spring or summer during year 8. Practice and mock tests for the exam are also provided by Galore Park to help prepare the candidate for this exam.
  • The main subjects of the 13+ Entrance Exams are English, mathematics and science.
  • However, additional subjects that students can apply for to enhance their admission process include French, geography, history and religious studies. Most pupils prefer to sit the second level as it is the standard paper.

Completing the Common Entrance Form 

  • In many areas of the country, the CAF allows you to express up to six preferences. This is generally sufficient for most parents. However, in certain areas, there are only three spaces on the CAF, and completing the form presents considerable challenges.
  • The golden rule for completing the CAF is that you should always put the schools in your real order of preference.
  • If your child is taking the 11+, list all your preferred grammar schools above any other type of schools.
  • Be realistic. If a certain grammar school is 15 miles away then don’t list it as a preference. Although if you live only 8-9 miles away, take a chance.
  • Your last preference school should be your ultimate fallback if all else fails. Therefore, make sure it is still a school that will be acceptable. Plus, one that your child is certain to get a place.
  • Keep a copy of your CAF (print the online version or make a copy of the form signed and dated version). You will be very glad if you decide to appeal. Then need to prove what you filled in.
