2011 11+ RESULTS

We are proud to announce exceptional results in the Torbay secondary selection tests at 11 + this year.

83% of our year 6 pupils received a selected place.

There were 12 children in our year 6 and 10 of them have gained a secondary selected place. The national and local average for the year 6 cohort is 25%. This is an exceptional result, even for us - a stellar year!

Our heartiest congratulations go to all the children and also to all their teachers, for working so hard and pulling out all the stops when it mattered.

Well done!
