Understanding Reading Grammar School Qualification

With Reading’s selective schools following separate entrance routes, families need to understand the specific assessment and application requirements for the school their child is considering. Early preparation can help pupils become familiar with the relevant test format and develop the skills needed for each stage.
Here’s why strong 11 Plus preparation is important for Reading families:

Reading School and Kendrick School Assessments

Families in Reading may prepare for different selective school entrance tests, depending on their child’s application. Reading School uses an independent FSCE entrance examination, while Kendrick School uses a GL Assessment 11 Plus test.

Reading School (boys) Places

Reading School is a selective state school for boys. It offers 150 Year 7 places, including 138 day places and 12 boarding places. Its entrance assessment is provided by FSCE and covers a broad range of Key Stage 2 skills across four papers.

Kendrick School (girls) Admissions

Kendrick School is a selective girls’ grammar school in Reading. Applicants must register with the school within the required timeframe and sit the GL Assessment 11 Plus test in September before completing the relevant local authority application.

Reading School FSCE Assessment and Preparation

The FSCE assessment for Reading School assesses areas of the KS2 National Curriculum through multiple-choice papers. As the two schools use different entrance arrangements, focused preparation can help pupils understand the question styles, manage their time and approach their chosen assessment with greater confidence.
