11+ and 13+ entrance exams: dates and guides for 329 schools

Whichever school your child is aiming for, Remelia teaches Key Stage 2 maths and English in the order their school teaches it. 329 schools also have an exam plan: the exam’s date, what is in scope, and a lighter last fortnight. Where an exam tests something Remelia does not fully teach, such as spatial reasoning, its guide says so. Ten of the 249 exam plans leave out English or maths, and another 52 set reasoning only and leave out both. With only such exams open, what is missing is kept up to the national standard for Years 3 to 6, with core topics and practice papers. It is not counted towards those exams or included as a section of their mocks.

The 329 schools with a planWhat a plan adds

Any school

Preparing for a different school?

Most of Remelia does not depend on the school. What an exam plan adds is the exam itself: its date, its scope, the subjects and the parts of English that only an exam asks for, a timed mock and practice papers in the exam’s style.

What Remelia does for any school

  • Maths, Years 3 to 6, in the order your child’s school teaches it: White Rose Maths, Power Maths (current edition), Power Maths (first edition, 2018), Maths No Problem! or Oak National Academy. Remelia is not associated with or endorsed by White Rose Education or Oak National Academy. The topic order for Oak National Academy is based on Oak’s published units, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
  • English: grammar, punctuation, spelling and vocabulary most days, and from the spring of Year 4 a passage each week to read with a grown-up, with questions for you to ask.
  • A short skills check that finds where your child is, then spaced reviews that bring every topic back, and common mistakes named.
  • A weekly letter for you, with progress across the whole syllabus. Read a whole sample letter

What comes only with an exam plan

  • An exam date to work to: phases towards it and a lighter last fortnight.
  • Progress counted towards that exam.
  • The weekly reading day from the autumn of Year 5 (an unseen passage and 9 questions), with a chosen exam plan that includes English; the short timed writing pieces, with an exam that includes writing.
  • Verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and science, each with an exam that sets it. Reasoning starts in the autumn of Year 5: a child in Year 3 or Year 4 has none until then.
  • A timed mock in the exam’s shape, of the whole exam or of part of it, and practice papers in its style where Remelia has one.
  • Interview practice cards for a grown-up to use at home, with an independent school’s exam that has an interview. They are there from the autumn of the year the exam is sat until about the time of the school’s offers.

No school is chosen for your child: when you set them up you tick the schools they might apply for, as many as you like, or choose “General 11+ preparation”. Until you choose, they learn the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date; the schools can be changed at any time in Settings.

A school that is not listed

Under “Can’t find a school?” you can tick the test it sets: GL Assessment’s test, Quest Assessments’ test, the ISEB Common Pre-Test or FSCE’s test. Remelia then plans for that provider’s usual test: its usual subjects, with reasoning where the provider sets it. Without a date choice the boxes work to September of Year 6 for GL Assessment’s, January of Year 6 for Quest Assessments’, November of Year 6 for the ISEB Common Pre-Test and June of Year 5 for FSCE’s. A parent can choose any month in the supported school years: Year 6 for GL Assessment, Year 6 for Quest Assessments, Year 6, Year 7 or Year 8 for the ISEB Common Pre-Test and Year 5 or Year 6 for Future Stories Community Enterprise. Only sittings still available for your child’s year are offered; Year 8 Pre-Test is not offered before Year 7. The plan’s lighter last 14 days and its end follow that choice. The plan does not hold the school’s own date, parts or papers: the school’s letter says those. If the test is none of these, or you do not know it, choose “General 11+ preparation”: the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.

The 329 schools counted on this page are the ones with a plan of their own: the school’s own test, with its own date and parts. A plan by test provider is for any other school that sets one of those tests.

An exam plan

What choosing a school changes.

You choose the schools when you set your child up, and can change them in Settings. A school with an exam plan changes the daily plan in four ways, and adds a timed mock and practice papers to print.

  1. A date to work to

    The exam’s date, or an estimate until the school publishes one. The months before it run through three phases: building, consolidating then final.

  2. What is in scope

    The subjects and years the exam tests, with verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and science where it sets them. Those topics are the ones to have secure by exam day; the rest of Key Stage 2 is still taught.

  3. Progress counted towards it

    Remelia Parents shows how much of the exam is secure, and how much is likely to be by exam day, as a range with its assumptions. Never a pass prediction.

  4. A lighter last fortnight

    In the last 14 days before the exam, sessions are shorter and nothing new is introduced.

  • A timed mock. For each exam with a plan there is a timed mock. For 63 of the 249 exams it is of the whole exam, each of its papers or sections. For 15 more the exam’s own papers were not found on the pages read: the mock has the provider’s usual section for each subject the test is known to set, and is not known to be the whole exam. For the others it is in part, and the exam’s guide says how: each part that is not in it. Each exam is counted by the mock its guide gives for entry from 2028. Subjects kept up beside the exam do not add sections to its mock. It is on screen for a test taken online and on paper for one taken on paper, with any writing task on paper. For a mixed test, the app follows each recorded paper’s medium where it is known; an unspecified GL or FSCE part stays on paper. Where the medium is not recorded, it follows the provider’s usual format. Each mock’s parts say which. A mock on paper is made in Remelia Parents or in For grown-ups; a mock on screen is started in For grown-ups, on the child’s own device.
  • Practice papers to print. Maths and English papers for the subjects your child studies, plus papers in the style of their chosen entrance exams where available. They are: GL-style papers in maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning for a GL Assessment test; a Quest-style reading paper for a Quest Assessments test or the ISEB Common Pre-Test; a GL-style spatial reasoning paper for a GL Assessment test that sets spatial reasoning; a Quest-style non-verbal reasoning paper for a Quest Assessments test sat on paper; a writing paper of 15, 20, 30 or 45 minutes where the exam has a written task; and the SATs papers when the Year 6 SATs are chosen. Every paper holds Remelia’s own questions: none is a past paper or a test provider’s own.

Choose more than one school and the plan covers what all of their exams set, of what Remelia teaches, with the nearest exam setting the pace. Where an exam tests something Remelia does not teach, Settings says so.

Each exam plan is dated from your child’s year group: Remelia works to the sitting for the September they start Year 7. A school without a plan of its own may still have its test under “Can’t find a school?”. Tick it, then choose its school year and month; Remelia plans for that provider’s usual test at the sitting you choose. If it is not there, choose “General 11+ preparation” for the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date.

With a Remelia plan

329 schools, 249 exams.

A to Z, each with its town, the exam it sets, who provides the test and when it is sat. Every exam has a guide: when it is sat, what is in it, and what Remelia does and does not cover for it. To find a school or a town, use your browser’s Find (Ctrl+F, or ⌘F on a Mac).

The Trafford and King’s Chester guides are written by hand and were checked on 25 September 2026. The others are built from our research of each school’s own pages, checked on 22 September 2026 to 29 September 2026, and cite every page they use; what those pages do not say, the guides call unknown.

283 more tests, researched, with no plan yet.

Each page has the test’s dates, papers and how places are decided, as the school’s own pages give them, with every page cited. Remelia has no exam plan for these tests yet, and teaches Key Stage 2 in school order. A school without a plan of its own may still have its test under “Can’t find a school?”. Tick it, then choose its school year and month; Remelia plans for that provider’s usual test at the sitting you choose. If it is not there, choose “General 11+ preparation” for the Key Stage 2 curriculum with no exam date. A school that is not listed

Researched, details not yet confirmed

312 tests whose pages say less.

For these, the pages read do not yet say who sets the test, when it is sat or what it tests, or only one page says it. What they do say is on each page, with its source; what they do not, the page calls unknown.
