Ibstock Place 11+ Admissions Guide 2024 Entry

STAGE TWO

Assessment: English and Mathematics Examinations

Based on the applicant’s performance in the online CAT and the Learning Workshop and taking into account any contextual information provided by their parents, or confidential reference from their current school, we will shortlist applicants to return to Ibstock to sit written papers in English and Mathematics on Thursday 14 or Friday 15 December .

We write our own Mathematics and English papers and each paper will last one hour. Those candidates who qualify for extra time will be given one hour and fifteen minutes to complete each test. As with the CAT, the papers will cover the taught National Curriculum up to the end of Year 5 but with opportunities to appropriately stretch and challenge through the style and depth of the questions asked.

We expect that about two thirds of applicants proceed to Stage Two.

The Mathematics paper will cover:
