My DS1 is in Y4, and I have been given a small booklet about the 11+ selection tests in Essex. I have a bit of a concern. It states in the information from The CSSE that 'The test is available to children aged 11 years, but under 12 years on 31st August 2011. Children younger than this , but working and registered in the Year 6 cohort , may exceptionally be allowed to take the test.
Does this mean that if you are not aged 11 years by the November of Y6,that there is a chance that you will not be allowed to take the 11+ selection test? I'm asking because when DS1 is in Y6, he will only be 10 years and 7 months in the November when the selection tests take place. Is there a chance he will not be allowed to sit them because he will be under 11 years old at that point? He will be 11 before the end of Y6, his Birthday is in April.
