Hi sleepy

I am replying because nobody else has. I think it might be quite hard for you to find consortium papers going back 17 years unless someone has a very serious hoarding habit! Most schools place past papers on their websites but you are unlikely to find many papers from old years. This is because there are only so many ways in which questions can be framed for a 10/11 year old to answer. If many years worth of papers were available it would enable some children who had sight of those papers to gain a clear advantage over other equally able children.

The style of questioning will have changed significantly, also timing etc. They'd be of limited use. I think you'd be safe with the last five years, though.
