Introduction

 

Cheadle Hulme School is a coeducational school based in  Cheadle Hulme, Stockport. It is a member of the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference and it welcomes pupils aged 4 to 18.

 

It was founded in 1854 under the name The Manchester Warehousemen and Clerks’ Orphan School by a group of Manchester-based businessmen. Their aim was to make sure that orphans and needy children were provided with a caring environment and education.

 

Occupying an area of 83 acres, the school educates around 1,400 pupils who participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities. With two sports lessons and one swimming lesson per week included in the program, alongside music lessons, Cheadle Hulme School claims its spot as one of the most appealing schools in the UK. 

 

Furthermore, Year 5 and 6 students can participate in a wide range of Football, Netball, Hockey, Swimming, Cricket and Athletics clubs, while pupils are given the rather unique opportunity to perform in assemblies, concerts and dramatic productions. A library, swimming pool, sports field, astro-turf pitch and tennis and netball courts are only a few of the many facilities available to The Junior School.

 

Cheadle Hulme School was rated “excellent” by a recent inspection report on the grounds of “the quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements” and “the quality of the pupils’ personal development”.

 

Additionally, the school implemented a ten-year strategic plan in 2011, with some of the goals being to spend 10% of the gross fee income in bursarial support, reintroduce the house system and complete various building projects.

How to Prepare for the Cheadle Hulme School 11 Plus (11+) Exam 

 

Practice tests are an effective tool for preparation for the Cheadle Hulme School 11+ exam. With the help of our practice tests, designed and formatted to match the actual exams, your child will learn to deal with various 11+ exam question types quickly and confidently.

 

The benefits for your child are numerous: the tests provide focused practice and familiarity with a wide variety of possibilities and examples, serving as an indicator of any weaker areas that require additional work ahead of the exam. We suggest starting early with your revision so that you have plenty of time to identify subject areas that need additional work.

 

The practice tests are challenging, and preparing for the 11 Plus can sometimes feel overwhelming. But once a carefully thought-out revision plan is implemented, students should find the process a lot more manageable.

 

Aside from getting used to answering the types of questions that may be asked on the big day, they also work on developing time-management skills, such as answering questions under pressure.

 

Our practice tests are used successfully every year by hundreds of thousands of students targeting schools with a competitive entrance exam. They are age-appropriate, reflecting the demands of the actual exam.
