11+ dates and scores for September 2027 entry
England has 164 state grammar schools. Each admits Year 7 pupils by ability, through an entrance test - the 11+ - that children sit early in Year 6. Below are the 11+ facts each school states on its own website: 51 schools publish key dates we could read, and 7 a qualifying score, lowest score offered or last distance offered. Every line links to the page it came from.
Registering for the test is separate from applying for a place. You still name the grammar school on your council's secondary school application, which for September 2027 entry closes on Saturday 31 October 2026 (Monday 2 November 2026 in Kent). Reaching a school's qualifying score makes a child eligible; places then go by that school's oversubscription criteria.

Do I still need to apply to the council after the 11+?
Registering for the test is separate from applying for a place. You still name the grammar school on your council's secondary school application, which for September 2027 entry closes on Saturday 31 October 2026 (Monday 2 November 2026 in Kent). Reaching a school's qualifying score makes a child eligible; places then go by that school's oversubscription criteria.
