Re: Any updates for 2014 ?
Thank you for this information. I phoned HSFG today re the exam date (as it may have an implication for the year 6 residential trip, which often occurs in early September at our junior school!) and I was told there would be an announcement in the press by the end of the week regarding the new testing arrangements

Would this be of interest ? It was just posted on the STRS site
Changes to the Grammar School Entrance Test
Dear Parent/Guardian,
The Grammar School Entrance Test (11+) is changing in Gloucestershire in 2014, for entrance in September 2015.
The seven Gloucestershire Grammar Schools: Marling School; Pate’s Grammar School; Ribston Hall High School; Sir Thomas Rich's School; Stroud High School; The Crypt School and The High School for Girls have made the joint decision to use Durham University CEM tests. CEM are one of the largest independent providers of educational assessment and monitoring systems in the world. They have been developing selection assessments since 1999, and provide tests for a number of grammar schools in other counties.
The schools are concerned by the amount of tutoring that currently takes place. CEM design their tests to enable all children to demonstrate their academic potential without excessive preparation. They do not produce commercially available practice materials, however familiarisation material will be made available via the Gloucestershire Grammar Schools’ websites in January 2014. CEM further advise that beyond the familiarisation material, the best preparation for their tests is to read books and use mathematics on a regular basis.
Please be aware that the dates for registration for the test and the test dates have changed for 2014.
Key Dates
Monday 2 June 2014 On-line registration for 2015 Entry opens
Friday 4 July 2014 Registration closes at noon
Saturday 13 September 2014 Test day
By Monday 13 October 2014 Results sent to parents
As a result of the earlier test date and registration window, there may be additional open events at each of the schools so please check individual websites for details.
Yours sincerely
