s you said very few children get into from our area is it because of distance or is there any other points they consider. i

Children who live in catchment get places first. If there are any spaces left over for out of catchment children and they don't have siblings already at the school, it's down to who lives nearest. (In the past, it was highest score, but now that makes no difference, as long as the child has passed.)

Test dates for 2007 are 5 October and 11 October, as published on Bucks CC web site. See link below:

Dates for the eleven plus 2007 are 4th and 10th October.

I know this as I phoned up the admissions dept. to check before we booked a holiday for the week after the exams.

I hope you got permission from school first - some schools will not authorise holidays in term time

hello there could someone tell us if kids from berkshire, sitting for 11+ bucks will have tests on the same (4th and 10th/oct )dates and if they have to travel to bucks's school to have the tests or they will ahve there tests in there own schools.

Dates for the eleven plus 2007 are 4th and 10th October.

Usually, out of county children take the 11+ test during during the autumn half term. However, some primary schools in Berkshire organise to have the Bucks tests done in the school, and in this case I think (but not sure) that it takes place at the same time as the test done in Bucks schools..

Hi , I agree with Catherine - If things haven't changed since my son took the Bucks test in 2005. His Primary school is in Berkshire but he sat the 11+ at his own school at the same time as the Bucks schools.

Dear ALL

Out of county children either

Take the test during half term [at a place designated by County] or

At their school [if the school are happy to invigilate] in which case it does NOT have to be the same dates as Bucks.

Of course County may change for this years in take, but the above was definitely the case last year.

If the Berks school is linked with Bucks (Bucks information pack contains a list of linked schools), they have the same date as the Bucks school (normally). Otherwise, it's up to the Berks school head teacher. They decide the date and they might ask you to pay a small fee for their time. This is how my child had to take the Bucks test in 2006 Oct. Admission team told us that they tell the school to administer the test before the half term in October. We were only given 2 days notice for the date. Even then, the deputy was planning on administering both tests on the same day and we had to complain to get two test dates.

Hope this helps.
