Clitheroe Royal Grammar School 11 Plus Pass Marks and Standardised Scores
There is no permanent raw percentage that should be used as an evergreen Clitheroe pass-mark target.
Children need to reach the school’s required academic standard in the entrance examination. Commercial mock percentages cannot be converted directly into an official result, so mock scores should be used mainly to measure progress and identify weaknesses.
How to Prepare for the Clitheroe Royal Grammar School 11 Plus
Preparation should concentrate on English and Maths, with children becoming confident in both multiple-choice and short written-response questions.
English Preparation
Develop comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, spelling and accurate written responses. Paper 2 means children need to produce answers independently rather than relying on answer options.
Maths Preparation
Secure Year 5 Maths, mental arithmetic and the four operations before progressing towards unfamiliar problems and timed work. Children should practise both selecting and generating answers.
