About the Slough 11+
One Consortium, One Test
Slough has 4 grammar schools — all co-educational — operating as the Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools. A single registration and one test sitting covers applications to all four schools. The consortium switched from CEM to GL Assessment from the 2023/24 admissions cycle onwards.
The 11+ consists of 2 multiple-choice papers, each approximately 60 minutes. Paper 1 covers English comprehension, technical English, and Verbal Reasoning. Paper 2 covers Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics. The qualifying standardised score is 111 (top 35% of the cohort). Reaching 111 makes a child eligible but does not guarantee a place — all four schools are heavily oversubscribed.

St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School
The only co-educational Catholic grammar school in England, founded in 1897 by the Bernardine Sisters of the Order of St Benedict. A voluntary-aided school that welcomes pupils of all faiths and none, but gives highest priority to practising baptised Catholic children with a priest's reference. A Supplementary Information Form (SIF) is required in addition to the Common Application Form. After Catholic applicants, priority extends to other Christian denominations, then children of other faiths. Pupils from Slough Catholic primary schools also receive consideration.
