How the 11 Plus works in Greater Manchester independent schools

Outside Trafford, Greater Manchester has no state grammar schools, so for most families the 11 Plus means an independent school entrance exam. The Manchester Grammar School, Withington Girls' School and Stockport Grammar School hold theirs in the January before a child starts, with applications closing in the autumn. Bolton School asks candidates to sit the ISEB Common Pre-Test in October. Most families apply to more than one school, so check the dates for each.

Who runs itEach school's own entrance exam, mostly sat in the January before entry.
FormatSet by the schools themselves and the format can change, so the safest preparation covers both multiple choice and standard written papers.
What is testedEach school sets its own papers, usually English and maths. Some also use the ISEB Common Pre-Tests, which add verbal and non-verbal reasoning. Check each school for its format.
