Eleven things parents ask us.

Year 5 children sitting the Trafford 11+ in September 2026. If your child is in another year group and you think the paper would still be useful, email us and we will talk it through.

Three hours from arrival to dismissal, including a short comfort break. The paper itself runs to the same timings as the live Trafford 11+.

By email, within forty-eight hours of sitting the paper. It is a written report covering raw score, percentile against this cohort, a section-by-section breakdown, and Carolyn's commentary on what to work on between now and September.

Two HB pencils, a sharpener, a rubber, and a water bottle. We provide everything else. No calculators. We do not provide refreshments, so a small snack for the break is a good idea.

Tell us at booking. There is a question on the form. Carolyn and David will be in touch directly to confirm arrangements before the day, so the mock matches what your child will have in September.

Yes. Many families book two, spaced a few weeks apart, so they can see progress between attempts. Book each one separately. The diagnostic report will reflect each sitting.

Email us as soon as you can and we will move them to another cohort if seats are available. We do not refund no-shows, but we will always try to find another date.

Yes. The live 11+ is sat in mixed cohorts, and so is this.

Each cohort caps at sixty children. The room comfortably holds that with proper spacing. Once a cohort is full, it is full.

Payment is taken at booking by card. Refunds are available up to two weeks before your booked date. After that we will move you to another date if seats remain, but cannot refund.
