Selection route
- Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet 11+ assessment
School-specific assessment · The school has not named its test provider; it says an outside company standardises the scores. Check the school's own guidance before buying provider-branded practice. · Two multiple-choice format tests in one session on one assigned test day at Queen Elizabeth’s School; applicants attend either 16 or 17 September 2026. A reserve sitting on 23 September is restricted to candidates unable to attend the main dates for illness or another approved reason. Published information does not say whether the tests are on paper or on screen; check with the school.
The provider age-standardises the English and Mathematics scores and combines them. A combined standardised score of 225 or higher meets the Governors’ eligibility standard for consideration, but does not guarantee an offer. The school ranks candidates by combined score; straight-line home distance breaks ties, followed by an independently supervised random ballot if a tie remains.
