Introduction

 

Wimbledon High School is an independent day school for girls in Wimbledon, South West London. Since its conception in 1880, it has been an active member of the GDST network of schools, educating a number of notable authors, journalists, scientists and professors. [1

 

The stimulating curriculum is a reflection of the school’s aims to provide top-quality teaching that will produce proactive members of society. Competitive by nature, the educational provision covers a rich range of disciplines, ensuring that girls effortlessly transition into further stages of their education.

 

Advocating for cross-curricular learning, Wimbledon High successfully interconnects different types of discourses into a comprehensive STEAM programme, which allows girls to maximise their capacity for critical thought. To balance the challenging education with other key aspects of pupils’ development, the school regularly organises trips to far-off destinations such as Japan, Iceland, Morocco and Spain. [2] [3]

 

Wimbledon High boasts a range of cutting-edge facilities, including a swimming pool, an all-weather Astro and the Rutherford Centre for the Performing Arts, a fully functioning theatre that features professional equipment for lighting and sound. Over 25 music ensembles rehearse weekly, hence the hallways frequently echo with the sounds of beautiful music, complementing the warm and nurturing learning environment Wimbledon High is known for.

Wimbledon High School 11 Plus (11+) Exam Format

 

The Stage 1 exam at Wimbledon High School covers:

 

  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Non-Verbal Reasoning

 

The Verbal Reasoning paper is designed to test and assess logical thinking, use of English language and vocabulary.

 

The Non-Verbal Reasoning paper measures the ability to understand, interpret and problem-solve, testing logic and intelligence rather than knowledge. 

 

Candidates who are successful in the Stage 1 exam will be invited back to the school to attend the Stage 2 exam or Creative Assessment Day. As part of the range of activities planned for this day, your daughter’s literacy and numeracy will be tested through short English and Maths assessments.

 

How to Prepare for the Wimbledon High School 11 Plus (11+) Exam

 

To successfully prepare your daughter for the Wimbledon High School 11+ entrance exam, we recommend using practice tests. Our resources fully reflect the actual 11+ exam by covering all the question types that could come up, whilst helping your daughter become familiar with the exam layout. 

 

Coupled with a structured study plan, our practice tests will help you define any weak areas that require additional work at the earliest. They will also help you recognise your daughter’s strengths, resulting in a significant boost in her confidence in the lead up to the big day.

 

Furthermore, she will get used to answering questions quickly and effectively, under time pressure.

 

Our resources are designed to be age-appropriate, yet challenging, and, as such, they are used successfully by hundreds of thousands of students every year. 

 

Wimbledon High School 11 Plus (11+) Exam Pass Marks and Target Scores

 

Pupils who are able to score 80%+ consistently in our Stage 1 Practice Tests should be on track to make it through to Stage 2.

 

Pupils who are able to score 85%+ consistently in our Stage 2 Practice Tests should be on track to pass the written assessments that form part of the school’s Creative Assessment Day.

 

Whilst there are no guarantees, this has historically been a fairly strong indicator that your child should do well in the Wimbledon High 11 Plus examinations.

 

Don’t worry if your child is not scoring well in our practice papers from the outset. With targeted practice and focus, it’s possible to make big improvements in a short amount of time!
