It’s def a state grammar school and not an independent school?

@Argmenative

I've no idea - surely they would look at GCSE grades, anyway?

Pretty standard to have 5 passes minimum including maths and English for A'levels.

No private grammar - fee paying.

I thought it looked like something I would work through with my Y4 (apart from the strange questions).
My Y8 is good at maths and would find that very easy.

I guess they might use a very high pass mark - say 90% but there's no complexity in those questions really.

What about trig? Quadratic equations?

I found this online. It has been supplied by a UK grammar school and is the maths entry test for those entering 6th form from outside. So, age 16.

I would hope it is a maths test for someone wanting to study English, French or History and not a STEM subject.

Is there such a thing as a private grammar? I though grammar schools were a state school concept?

When working in post 16 education, if you got an adult to that level of ability (which seems to be an 11 year old/L2) one, it was enough for them to function in society without being at a huge disadvantage. Ideally, yes, you'd want them to continue and improve more, but if they really didn't want to be there, at least you knew they weren't going to spend the rest of their life being shortchanged, unable to buy curtains, understand whether a credit offer was loan sharking or relatively ethical (we finished off the percentages topic with calculating interest and a 'this is why Brighthouse tell customers the weekly payment, rather than the total they'll make out of them' or something similar.

If the applicants to this school can't do it, they'll need additional study, whatever their chosen subjects are.

A snip at £5,687 per term, day pupils.

Is it maybe for overseas students who won't have done GCSE?

I' ve got it completely wrong - so sorry, everyone. It is the exam paper for entry in Year 7.

Will now do the email of shame to MN HQ and ask them to remove.

I would say year 5/6. My son is Y5 and some of this is similar to what he does at school but some of them are trickier and more like the questions his private tutor sets him from Y6 syllabus. Bit of a mixture here.

I’m still not clear how it can be a true grammar school if private. Don’t all independent schools have the right to be selective? So there is nothing special in calling yourself “ grammar”. Whereas in the state system only grammars can be academically selective.

The ‘Grammar’ misnomer is a hangover from earlier times.

Schools can have ‘grammar’ in the title yet be a comprehensive. Schools can have grammar in the title but be fee paying.

The maths test will undoubtedly be for overseas students. Students who have gone through GCSEs etc will win a place on their results and the family’s ability to pay.

Year four, my 9 year old could answer those.

Read the thread now. Still surprised it’s for year 6’s . I suppose it’s the beginning of year six though.

Interesting. My old Level 6, Year 6s would have torn through this in seconds.The English one is even easier.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was so confused at 620 as a %. A % of what..? And the mixed number one? .

I reckon my 9 year old (year 4 in England I think?) could could answer a fair amount of these (not the conversion questions, or square numbers though).

I'd have guessed year 5 or 6 (p6 or p7 where I am).

I assume not to do A level maths? I think this is about right. A lot of secondary for a lot of children is a recap of primary because they just don't get it/have not retained it.

These all demonstrate basic numeracy skills and I imagine the pass mark is quite high. I am not surprised about this although I don't see the point as presumably they are required to have the GCSE.

It’s Y4 work. I home Ed and we have been doing these sort of questions for ages. This

if you got an adult to that level of ability (which seems to be an 11 year old/L2) one, it was enough for them to function in society without being at a huge disadvantage.
Has absolutely made my day. Dd is quite severely disabled with communication difficulties and I know no one has ever expected this level of achievement still much work to do but how lovely to read that in passing.

Year four or early on in year five

definitely year 5/6

Year 5/6

Year 6, but some questions Years 4 and 5 could answer.

Are you sure it’s not the entry test for yr 7? They look like 11+ type questions. Maybe it’s just been put in the gcse entry section by mistake?
