Apply for a late transfer grammar school test (12 and 13+)

Your child will be able to prepare for the test by viewing an online familiarisation guide at home.

We'll send you a link to the guide when we send you the ‘invitation to test’.

The guide includes:

• what to expect in the test
• advice about taking the test
• sample questions

This gives your child the chance to see the style of the test and the types of questions that may be included.

You can help your child prepare for the test by:

• making sure your child has experience of working quietly on their own. Make sure there are no distractions or interruptions
• making sure your child does any homework that is set
• helping your child to read with understanding
• asking them what certain words mean and what is happening in the passage or book that they are reading
• encouraging your child to solve problems or to look up things for themselves
• helping them work through the familiarisation materials
