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
- Every date is copied from the council's or school's own admissions page for September 2027 entry.
- A date the source gives only as a month or 'mid-October' stays that way; we never guess the day.
- 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.
