About the Surrey 11 Plus exam

Most Surrey selective schools use GL Assessment tests for verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and maths. Some also include an English component. The Tiffin schools are particularly selective and use their own bespoke test. Parents should research the specific requirements for their target school rather than assuming all Surrey schools use the same format.

The Sutton cluster (Sutton Grammar, Wallington County, Wilson's, Nonsuch) and the Tiffin schools are the most oversubscribed. These schools attract applicants from across south London and Surrey, not just local families. A specialist tutor familiar with each school's test format can target preparation precisely — which is important given each school tests different combinations of skills.

Registration deadline

Registration deadlines vary by school — typically February–June of Year 5. The test is usually held in September–October of Year 6.

11 Plus in Surrey: common questions

What tests do Surrey grammar schools use?

Surrey does not have a single county test like Kent. Each selective school runs its own entrance exam. Most use GL Assessment tests covering verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and maths. The Tiffin schools use their own tests, which are widely considered among the most challenging in the country. Preparation should be targeted to the specific format of each school your child is applying to.

How competitive are the Tiffin schools?

Tiffin School and Tiffin Girls' School receive thousands of applications for fewer than 200 places each. Children typically need to score in the 95th+ percentile to be competitive. Both schools attract applicants from across London and Surrey. Tiffin-specific preparation with a tutor who knows the test format is almost essential for children aiming for these schools.

When should we start preparing for Surrey grammar schools?

For Tiffin and the Sutton cluster, Year 4 preparation is common. For other Surrey selective schools, starting in Year 5 is typical. Given each school has a different test, identify your target schools early and find a tutor who knows those specific formats. Some families prepare for 2–3 schools simultaneously, which requires more structured preparation.
