Churston Ferrers Grammar School 11 Plus Exam Format
The Churston Ferrers Grammar School 11 Plus consists of English and Maths testing administered by GL Assessment.
The school states explicitly that there are no separate Verbal Reasoning or Non-Verbal Reasoning papers. The assessment is based on core knowledge and skills children would normally be expected to have learnt by the end of Year 5.
What Does the Churston Ferrers Grammar School Exam Format Mean for Preparation?
Preparation should concentrate on strong literacy, secure Maths, problem solving, accuracy and timed performance rather than devoting substantial time to separate reasoning papers that are not part of the Churston test.

Churston Ferrers Grammar School 11 Plus Pass Marks and Standardised Scores
Churston uses a standardised pass mark, but the school states that the exact qualifying threshold can change between years depending on the cohort.
Historic figures should therefore not be treated as permanent future targets, and a raw percentage from a commercial practice paper cannot be directly converted into an official score.

Preparation should focus specifically on English and Maths before progressing towards timed work and full mock exams.
English Preparation
Develop reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, grammar and accurate interpretation of unfamiliar texts.
