Exam Information

Exam style —GL Assessment/The Kent Test

Exam topic:

  • Reasoning

    • Verbal, non-verbal and spatial

  • English and maths

  • Creative writing

Exam length — 2 x 1 hour exams + a 40-minute writing exercise.

Pass rate — In recent years, 15,000+ applicants took the Kent test; only 6,500 passed.

Other exam information:

  • The reasoning, English and maths tests are multiple-choice with a separate answer sheet.

  • The first test will be an English and Maths paper. Each section will include a 5 minute practice exercise followed by a 25 minute test. The English section will involve a comprehension exercise as well as some additional questions drawn from a set designed to test literacy skills.

  • The second test will be the reasoning paper. It will take about 1 hour, including the practice sections and questions. It will contain a verbal reasoning section and a non-verbal reasoning section of roughly the same length. The non-verbal reasoning will be split into short sections, administered and timed individually.

  • Finally, there will also be a writing exercise which will not be marked but may be used by a local headteacher panel as part of the headteacher assessment stage of the process. 40 minutes will be allowed for the writing task, including 10 minutes planning time.

Scores:

  • Your child will get three standardised scores (one for English, one for maths and one for reasoning) and a total (aggregate) score.

  • Standardisation is a statistical process which compares your child's performance with the average performance of other children in each test. A slight adjustment is made to take account of each child's age so that the youngest are not at a disadvantage.

Pass mark:

To qualify, children needed a total score of 332 or more, with no single score lower than 108. Test scores range from 69 to 141. The highest possible total score is 423.

If your child did not reach this threshold score and their primary school referred their case to the local Head Teacher Assessment Panel, the panel will have looked at their achievement in school and examples of their work, including the writing task completed on the day, before a final decision was made.

Please note that a score of over 332 does NOT mean your child is guaranteed a place at your chosen school.

11 Plus Preparation Resources For Watford Grammar School For Boys

About the School

 

Address — Watford Grammar School for Boys, Rickmansworth Road, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD18 7JF

Type of school — Boys, partially selective, grammar school 

Cost — Free

Pupils in school — 1400+

Places available in year 7 — 220+ (25% of which are selective)

Average applicants per place — 4 or more

Catchment area —  Watford Grammar School for Boys has a catchment area.

The admission area comprises the Watford area and the ‘rest of the admission area’. The postcodes in each area are not listed in priority order. All postcodes are treated equally within each area unless there is a need to operate the tie-break.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

Community places:

  1.  Looked After Children and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order).

  2.  Boys whose normal home address is nearest to the school and who would not be allocated a place under any other criterion (up to 22 places, 10% of the total admissions). 

  3. Boys with a parent who is a permanent member of the school staff. To qualify, the member of staff must either have been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission is made or have been recruited to fill a post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. In all cases, the member of staff must have parental responsibility (sole or shared) for the boy. 

  4. Boys with a sibling (brother) enrolled at the school, excluding brothers who first entered the school in the Sixth Form (Year 12 or Year 13).

  5.  Boys with a sibling (sister) enrolled at Watford Grammar School for Girls, excluding sisters who first entered the school in the Sixth Form (Year 12 or Year 13). 

  6. Places will then be allocated to boys in increasing distance order using straight line distance between the boy’s normal home address and the school. 

Specialist (selective) places:

  1. Boys selected on the basis of aptitude for music as measured by the school's assessment procedures, in merit order (up to 22 places, 10% of total admissions). 

  2. Boys selected by academic ability as measured by the school’s assessment procedures, in merit order (up to 56 places, 25% of total admissions).

School Summary

Watford Grammar School for Boys was established in 1704 and is an all-boys, partially-selective grammar school in Watford, Hertfordshire. The school became an academy in 2010 and is part of the South West Herts School Grammar School Consortium.

Watford Boys specialises in science and is one of the highest-achieving state schools in the country. This is especially impressive when noting that this is a partially selective school and there is a wider range of ability than is the case in many grammar schools.
