Students to sit the 11-plus in September
The date of the Essex 11-plus exam has been brought forward this year so parents can find out if their child has passed before they apply for a secondary school place.
The change, which is recommended by the Government, will bring Essex in line with other counties and end the current three-and-a-half month wait for families to hear if their child has been awarded a place at a selective school.

CONSORTIUM FOR SELECTIVE SCHOOLS IN ESSEX
For many years the local grammar schools have been among the most over-subscribed and successful schools in the Eastern region. Parents know the value of being offered a place for their child at these outstanding schools. Changes to the 11+, required by the Government, will help inform parental choice.
