Science, Literacy and Numeracy grades all assessed as level 3 at Key Stage 1 SATs might be a good early indicator? I believe they are the national assessment tests taken at the end of Year 2 (age 7). Your school should tell you the results.

I was told by one particularly pro-11+ junior teacher that children should leave year 6 with level 4's, however if they are into decent level 5's they are deemed suitable for selection for grammar.
Hi there Guest.
Here in Lancashire we are told that Level 5 at year 5 is a good rule of thumb. However there are very few Grammar schools in Lancs and Hundreds of children competing for the few places there are!
Mumster - I'm afraid you've been misinformed - there is no level 6 in year 6 SATS. You can ask the school for the marks your daughter gets in her SATS so you can find out how well she did - but the highest grade she can get is a 5.
