Townley PTA Familiarisation Mock Entrance Tests 

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. 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. We provide personalised information to parents/carers detailing their child’s performance and where their child places within the cohort. From this, parents/carers can identify any areas in which their child may benefit from further support.

Townley PTA Familiarisation Mock Entrance Tests

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 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.

Further Information

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?

We send results to the parent’s/carer’s registered email address about two weeks after the test. To give parents a very clear picture of their child’s performance in comparison to other potential grammar school applicants, we include the following:

  • whether their child attempted each question and if so, whether he or she answered correctly or incorrectly
  • their child’s percentage score for each section and in total
  • their child’s percentile ranking within the cohort taking the test that week, for each section and overall
  • similar percentile rankings within the same sex cohort taking the test that week
  • After all the mock tests have been run, we send a further email with similar percentile rankings showing their child’s performance compared to all the pupils who sat the test this year.

How much does the mock test cost?

  • £70 for a full length mock test (AM or PM session)
  • £180 for booking all three dates (AM or PM session)

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.

Please note that the Mock Tests are organised and run exclusively by the Townley Grammar PTA. Therefore, please direct any queries to the PA at ptamocktgs@gmail.com and not to the School.
