The CSSE (Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex) is the entrance exam used by selective grammar schools across Essex and Southend-on-Sea. Unlike other 11+ exams, the CSSE tests English and Mathematics only — no Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning. One registration, one exam day, and the results are used by multiple grammar schools. It is the single gateway to some of the most prestigious state grammar schools in the country.
