Townley PTA Familiarisation Mock Entrance Tests
In conjunction with Atom Learning, the PTA at Townley Grammar School are organising familiarisation (Mock) tests to give Year 5 pupils the opportunity to practice the 11+ Entrance Test for Bexley/Kent.
Atom is the producer of the mock papers your child will sit. The whole test experience is designed to be as similar to the actual test as possible, both in terms of the school environment and the content of the test. After your child sits the test, we will provide a report detailing their performance and where your child places within the cohort. From this, parents/carers can identify any areas in which their child may benefit from further support.
Whilst your child sits the test, Atom Learning will host a free parent information session on ‘How to Prepare for the Bexley Test’. They will cover how to support your child’s preparation, how to identify their areas for improvement, and useful information on the transition to Year 7.

Sessions
The PTA will run 6 sessions across 3 dates in 2024: 20th July, 10th August, 31st August. Each day will have 2 sessions: AM and PM. All available sessions can only be booked via the We Are Townley Platform. There will be no other way to book the sessions. To be guaranteed a space in your chosen session, early booking is recommended.
On each date children (both boys and girls) will sit a unique and full-length Bexley/Kent 11+ mock test, produced by Atom Learning. You can read more about the structure of the Bexley 11+ here and Kent 11+ here. These sessions, available to both boys and girls, will replicate the real 11+ experience on test day, and are all held at Townley Grammar School.
You are welcome to book for more than one date (the practice paper will be different), but please do not book both a morning and afternoon session for the same date. Booking is open for both boys and girls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please click here to read our FAQs
What is the test like?
Our test has the same degree of difficulty as the real test. The format is identical, with four sections covering:
English Comprehension
Mathematics
Verbal Reasoning
Non-verbal Reasoning
Pupils will have controlled amounts of time for each section, as in the real test. All papers will be collected in at the end of the mock test.
What happens afterwards?
Results will be sent to the parent's/carer's email address within 3-5 working days.
Similar to the real exam, results will include:
How much does the mock test cost?
What Financial Support is Available?
Everyone should have the opportunity to gain admission to a Grammar school, regardless of financial circumstances. We therefore have a limited number of free places available to families in receipt of Pupil Premium for their child who would otherwise be unable to afford the mock test.
To apply for one of these, please write in confidence to the PTA via email to: ptamocktgs@gmail.com
Is this test suitable for applicants to other selective schools?
This test—which we think is the most rigorous of the local ‘preparation’ tests—will be very helpful, regardless of which school you finally decide to apply to.
