We have Grammar schools where we (and Rachaeaeaele) live, so it's a test to apply for a place at a selective school, it's not a private school.What's 11+? Is that for a private school?
Yes you opt to take it, but if you don't score high enough to get a place at the Grammar school, you're pretty much guaranteed a space at the local secondary school. That's how it works in this area anyway, not so sure about other areas that still have Grammar schools.I was unfortunate enough to be put through this test. You can opt to take a test at 11 years old called the 11 plus, which, if you pass means you can go to the grammar school. If you fail then you go to whichever school has spaces left. Well that's how it worked here I lived.
