Questions people ask

When are 11+ results released in 2026?

Most areas send results in mid-October, a couple of weeks before the council application deadline. For September 2027 entry: Bucks on 9 October, Medway on 14 October, Kent on 15 October, Birmingham on 16 October and Wirral on 21 October 2026.

When is the 11+ exam in 2027?

Most 11+ tests are in early to mid-September of Year 6. For September 2028 entry most councils publish exact dates in spring 2027, so pick your area above to see what is out.

Do I still need to apply after the 11+ results?

Yes. The test only shows whether your child qualifies. You still name grammar schools on your council's secondary application by its deadline (31 October in most areas, 2 November 2026 in Kent), and offers come on 1 March.

What is National Offer Day?

1 March, when every council in England tells families which secondary school place they have been offered. In 2027 it is Monday 1 March.

How we work this out

What it does

Pick your area or school to see its next 11+ date, with test day, results day and the application deadline.

Fourteen 11+ tests: Kent, Bucks, Medway, Birmingham, Bexley, Slough, Redbridge, Sutton SET, Wirral, Gloucestershire, Queen Elizabeth's School, Henrietta Barnett and the two Tiffin schools.

Method

  1. Every date is copied from the council's or school's own admissions page for September 2027 entry.
  2. A date the source gives only as a month or 'mid-October' stays that way; we never guess the day.
  3. Next year's test date is shown only once it is published. Until then you see last year's date, labelled as last year's.
