Overage Candidates - Essex

Post by zanymum »

Has anyone applied to any of the Essex grammars for their child to sit 11+ as an OVERAGE candidate? My DD has been back a year since Reception - what are our chances?

Your DD needs to sit the 11+ in year 5 not year 6. Overage entry is not allowed. Underage entry is discouraged.
