The Slough Consortium 11+: Overview

The Slough Consortium 11+ is a computer-marked multiple choice assessment provided by GL Assessment. The Slough 11+ assesses your child’s competency in Verbal Reasoning, English Comprehension and Vocabulary, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics. For an in-depth breakdown of the Slough Consortium 11+, please visit our article, ‘Selective Tests in Slough – the GL Assessment 11+ Test’.

Overview:

The test consists of two exam papers, each lasting approximately 60 minutes. The structure of the papers is fixed and follows the GL Assessment format.

• Paper 1: Verbal Reasoning and English Comprehension and Vocabulary

• Paper 2: Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics

Slough Consortium 11+ Pass Criteria

Test scores are received in mid-October of the year preceding entry. The Slough Consortium uses age standardisation, meaning younger children within the cohort are not disadvantaged. There is no fixed published pass mark. Historically, an aggregate standardised score of 111 has been used as the qualifying threshold, but this may vary slightly each year depending on the performance of the cohort. For more information, please see our article ‘Selective Tests in Slough – the GL Assessment 11+ Test’.

Oversubscription Criteria:

Where the number of eligible pupils reaching the required standard in the 11+ entrance examination exceeds the number of places available, the school uses the following set of oversubscription criteria in conjunction with the Priority Areas to make offers; places will be allocated in the following order of priority:

1. Eligible applicants with a permanent home address within Priority Area 1, up to a maximum of 100 places;

• If there are fewer places available than applicants, places will be allocated firstly to those attracting the Pupil Premium* at the closing date for submission of the Common Application Form (CAF); 
• After the above, those are ranked in order of performance in the entrance exam.

1. Eligible applicants with a permanent home address within Priority Area 2 and those who attract the Pupil Premium funding at the closing date for submission of the Common Application Form;
2. Eligible applicants who are children of permanent members of the School staff who have been continuously employed by the school for a period of not less than 2 years prior to the closing date for applications or who were recruited to fill a vacant post for which there was a demonstrable skill shortage;
3. Eligible applicants with a permanent home address within the school’s Priority Area 3, in rank order of performance in the admission examination;
4. Eligible applicants who live outside the Priority Admission Areas, in rank order of performance in the admission examination.

Additional eligibilities:

Children with Education, Health and Care plans are admitted via statutory procedure.
