From Scattered Data to Usable Profiles

A Conduit488 approach — making public data genuinely usable

Grammar school information is scattered across council websites, school prospectuses, DfE databases, and exam board publications — thorough in parts, but impossible to compare and disconnected from how parents actually research schools. This directory is our answer: the same data, structured so you can actually use it.

TrueVIQ takes this further — every 11+ practice question is mapped to the exam format your target school uses, so preparation is targeted, not generic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about grammar school entrance exams and this directory.

What information is included in each school profile?
Each profile covers the exam board (GL Assessment, CEM, etc.), exam format and components, Ofsted rating, school type, gender intake, age range, number of pupils, Year 7 places available, qualifying score (where published), and key dates for registration and exams.
Is the school directory free to use?
Yes, the entire school directory and all individual school profiles are completely free and publicly accessible. No account or subscription is required.
Where does the school data come from?
School structural data (address, Ofsted rating, pupil numbers) is sourced from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools (GIAS) service, licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Exam format information is compiled from publicly available sources including school websites and exam board publications.
How often is the data updated?
School data is synced monthly from the DfE GIAS database. Exam format information is reviewed regularly. We recommend always verifying current details directly with the school.
What is a Standardised Age Score (SAS)?
A Standardised Age Score (SAS) adjusts a child's raw exam score to account for their age. An SAS of 100 is average. Grammar schools typically require an SAS of 111-140+ depending on how selective they are. The qualifying SAS varies by school and year.
What is the difference between GL Assessment and CEM?
GL Assessment and CEM (Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring, Durham University) are the two main 11+ exam providers. GL Assessment papers use multiple-choice format across English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. CEM papers use a mixed format with standard and multiple-choice answers, focusing on English comprehension, Maths, and Verbal Reasoning — with content that changes yearly to discourage over-preparation.
What does "super-selective" mean?
A super-selective grammar school selects from a wider area (often nationally) rather than just the local catchment, and typically has very high qualifying scores (SAS 130+). They are among the most competitive grammar schools in the country.
When should I register for the 11+ exam?
Registration deadlines vary by region. Most Kent Test registrations open in May/June of Year 5 for exams in September of Year 6. Buckinghamshire and other regions have different timelines. Each school profile includes key dates where available — we recommend checking at least 12 months ahead.
How does this directory connect to TrueVIQ practice?
Every school profile identifies the exam board and question types your child will face. TrueVIQ then provides targeted practice mapped directly to those exam formats — so you can prepare with questions that match what your target school actually tests. Free unlimited practice for all children.
