How to Register for the Graveney School Year 6 Test
Before registering for a Year 7 place at Graveney School, students and parents are encouraged to attend one of the Open Days, which take place during the summer and autumn months. The events give students the opportunity to tour the school and attend talks by the Principal and Deputies. The school currently doesn’t provide private tours.
For more information on Graveney School’s Open Days, please visit this page on the school’s website.
After taking the Wandsworth Year 6 Test, all candidates need to submit an online application through their Local Authority’s website, or complete a Common Application Form from their LA.
The CAF is completed after the Year 6 test so that the school already has prior information about each pupil’s academic ability before allocating places. Students who don’t attend a Wandsworth school need to register through their LA to be invited to a test session.
Graveney School Year 6 Oversubscription Criteria
Each year, Graveney School admits around 280 pupils, of which 70 places are allocated to those who score highest in the Wandsworth Test. In cases where there are less than 70 applicants through the selective stream, the school uses the following oversubscription criteria to determine place priority:
- Looked After or previously Looked After children
- Students who already have a sibling at the school
- Students with an exceptional medical or social need
- Children of school staff members
- Students who live closest to the school
Graveney School, Year 6 Test, 11 Plus Exam Format
All applicants to Graveney School take the Wandsworth Year 6 Test, which consists of two papers:

- Non-verbal reasoning (55 minutes long)
The 70 places offered at Graveney are given to those that score the highest in the Year 6 test. The test is prepared by the exam board GL Assessment and is designed to provide schools with an indication of a students’ academic ability.
Both the verbal and non-verbal reasoning tests are laid out in a multiple-choice format and are marked electronically. Test results are age-standardised and emailed to parents in October.
More information on the Wandsworth Year 6 Test is provided on the local authority website.
