The Latymer School sets new 11+ test format for September 2028 entry
7 September 2026 · The ElevenReady Team
Parents looking ahead to The Latymer School in Enfield should note a significant change to the school’s 11+ admissions test for September 2028 entry.
According to the school information recorded in ElevenReady’s directory, from September 2027 the 11+ assessments will be provided by Quest Assessments. The new test format for children sitting the exam in autumn 2027 will consist of three sections:
- Mathematics
- English Comprehension
- English Writing
That matters because it gives families a clearer picture of what to expect for the 2028 entry round. In practical terms, parents should now plan on preparation that covers both maths and English in a more direct way, including a distinct writing element.
This update is most relevant for families with children who will sit The Latymer School’s 11+ in September 2027. It is a notable change because schools do not always confirm test structure this far ahead, and exam-format changes can affect how pupils prepare during Year 5 and into Year 6.
What parents should do now
- Check your child’s likely entry year so you know whether this change affects your family.
- Adjust preparation plans early to include maths, comprehension and extended writing practice.
- Watch for the school’s admissions information for the 2028 entry round when it is published, including registration and test-day details.
For families applying sooner than that, the key point is that this update is specifically stated for September 2027 testing for 2028 entry. If your child is applying for an earlier cohort, make sure you are looking at the correct admissions round rather than assuming the new format applies immediately.
You can also keep an eye on ElevenReady’s school directory for further confirmed updates as more schools publish their arrangements.
