NWNewstead Wood School 11+ admissions

• Newstead Wood School 11+ assessment

  School-specific assessment · The school's 2027 policy and FAQ do not name an outside test setter or provider. · The test has Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning parts. Both are multiple choice, with answers entered on a separate answer sheet, and the test is held at the school.

  Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning scores are age-adjusted and summed. The required standard is 210 unless a higher standard is needed to fill PAN. Non-Verbal Reasoning separates equal total scores. Reaching the standard does not guarantee an offer; rank order and oversubscription criteria apply.

Eligibility

Girls in the September 2027 age cohort must sit the selection test, achieve the required standard, and name Newstead Wood on the local authority CAF.

Score policy

The Year 7 selection test consists of Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning papers. Scores are age-adjusted and ranked by total score; the required standard is 210 marks unless that is insufficient to fill the 168-place PAN, in which case the school sets the standard high enough to meet PAN. Non-Verbal Reasoning breaks ties on equal overall scores. The policy does not specify a named test provider.

Oversubscription

The PAN includes pupils admitted under an EHC Plan, who must demonstrate academic ability through the test. After EHC Plan admissions, qualifying looked-after and previously looked-after girls are prioritised, then qualifying girls living within 9 miles who receive Pupil Premium or Service Premium. Remaining qualifying applicants are ranked by total score: one combined category covers girls living within 9 miles and daughters of staff employed for at least two years who live outside the radius, followed by other girls outside the radius. The policy says no places have been offered solely under the final outside-radius category.
