11+ at private schools same as entrance exam for grammar schools?

[maggie3kids]

Applying to primary schools with the intention of grammar secondary. Our main motivation for choosing an independent(private) primary school is that they do the 11+ exam. Apparently this is wrong because each grammar school has their own 11+ exam so whatever they do at primary doesn’t matter.

Can anybody shed some light on this please as it is going to impact us a lot more financially so I want to make sure private school will (help to) solidify entry into a grammar i.e. reduce need for tutoring and examination stress. Thank you!

Because good Indian Universities are cheaper but have a much more difficult to get into as you often need over 98%.

I’ve never heard of that either @ozanj in the two midlands grammars and one independent my kids have been at.

Surely actual “expat Indians” are pretty few and far between and would not be statistically significant.

If British Indian families are sending kids to University in India then the “back to India” phraseology is pretty distasteful..
