What the school says

Who sets it Inferred
GL Assessment. Source Source
Not named anywhere. Read off the format: a standard-format (written) and a multiple-choice verbal-reasoning paper, each a 15-minute practice test then a 45-minute test, with GL-style VR item types (hidden words, letter codes, sequences). GL publishes 11+ VR in exactly these standard and multiple-choice formats. The school administers and marks the papers itself; they are not the consortium test.
How it is taken

The papers
Standard Verbal Reasoning (written), 45 minutes, written answers; Multiple Choice Verbal Reasoning, 45 minutes, multiple choice. Source
Each session lasts an hour: a 15-minute practice test, then the 45-minute paper.
How places are decided
Catchment or priority area first, then the score (220). Source
Practice and familiarisation
Sample papers. The practice materials (another website) Source
Ten example questions (five written, five multiple-choice), not full papers.

The policy’s selection procedure is the two VR tests only.
What has changed Inferred
No change of provider announced on the admissions page read on 29 Sep 2026 (MM-868); the page does not give the provider history, so a change before 2023 cannot be ruled out from it. Source
