Whitgift's Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision is designed to support neurodiverse students as well as those with specific needs that require additional support, whatever their nature. Applicants with specific learning difficulties may be supported with exam concessions and access arrangements, and any requests will be assessed by our Head of Learning Support in line with JCQ guidelines.
If your son receives Learning Support at his current school, we require additional documentation from you. This will help us to determine what (if any) exam concessions we can provide for your son, and to ensure that Whitgift has all of the appropriate resources to meet your son's learning support needs. Required Documents: 1. EHCP (Education Healthcare Plan) and/or specific written recommendations from a qualified professional (e.g. Educational Psychologist report/diagnosis from an HCPC registered psychologist, Consultant or a specialist teacher). This report must be dated within 3 years. 2. A supporting letter from your son's current school confirming the current exam concessions your son receives. If you are applying for Sixth Form, we require a JCQ Form 8 from your son's current school. You will upload these documents as a part of the required documents section of the school application form.

Hello everybody, starting a thread for parents with children who have applied for 10+ this year.
My son will sit the Whitgift exam tomorrow. I am glad the thread is started. The previous years ones were very informative.
Hi London2007! Yes, I'm surprised there isn't one like this already. How's your DS feeling?
My one sat the Trinity one last Sat and has been too exhausted to study this week. Oops. What will be, will be.
My son is very relaxed. He is from a small state primary and this will be a practice run for the 11+ grammars for him. How did your son find the Trinity exam?
My son was very nervous last week. It was his first exam. And like your DS, he is from a state school. It was a last minute decision to apply so we didn't do a crazy amount of prep. He said "It went OK." Who knows what that means lol. We haven't pushed him for more info. Hopefully he has more of an idea of what to expect.
How did your DS find the papers?
Also, if anybody is aware- will some children find out if they are likely to move to the next round this yr? The trinity letter said "9 January at the latest"- from past experience, is anybody aware if they tell people the outcome this side of the Christmas holidays?
Bless him. Sitting an exam the very first time is daunting. They are very young, itâs all new and to be honest I was surprised to find out how much is expected from such young children. English isnât my first language and I wasnât educated here so itâs a new experience for me too. We take this exam as a new experience, something we can learn from and hopefully something he will find a challenge and will enjoy. To answer your question, my son enjoyed the practise paper, he is not tutored but does preparation for the state grammars 11+. He is good at Maths and reasonably good at English, he found the maths paper easy but he wasnât familiar with the English questions. The email we received from the admissions office said they will start contacting for interviews in early January so I assume we will not here before.
Thanks London2007. Hopefully good results for our boys come January!

Hope all the boys are having a good experience at Whitgift's exams this morning! They all seemed so little piling into the school this morning. đ¶đđ¶đ¶đ¶
Z said he enjoyed and the maths questions were harder than the example paper was. He looks exhausted and probably he is! He is very impressed that he was offered a Capri sun to drink!
I love it when this thread pops up each year (although mine were 11+ entry). My Trinity boys have both graduated from Uni now. It seems so long ago and yet at the same time it's gone so quickly!
I recognise your username SoupDragon!
Oh wow soupdragon. That's super! This 10+/11+ stress must seem like a distant memory for you. Hopefully you're now in relaxed mode. Or as my mum tells me, motherly stress never ends, it just changes đ
My DS also found the maths hard. In fact, we are a bit horrified hearing what he did for some questions. But it's over and he can relax over Christmas!
My DS didnât go into details just stated he couldnât do 3 of the maths questions and I think it took him by surprise. Itâs over, he put some efforts in and we shall see.
Yes, all the boys did so well. So young and sitting exams. They should all be proud. Grateful we have Christmas to chill! Enjoy your Christmas London2007! Here's for a fab 2023!
They definitely can be very proud of themselves. Have a wonderful Christmas too user1473290348!
user1473290348 · 10/12/2022 15:01
It's just one stress after another đ
DS sat also thought Maths was hard!
I thought in past years people started to be called to arrange interviews pretty soon after the exam but we havenât heard anything yet, a week after the Trinity exam.
But as others have said weâre just relieved to be finished and able to get into holiday mode now!
My DS only did Whitgift. I am not expecting to hear back anything until at least the very end of December. Probably the ones who will get early interviews will be contacted before January. I guess we will just have to wait patiently. ( patience is not my strength)
How did DS find the critical thinking and English papers?
LoL. Ditto.
My earlier message somehow deleted my second line. Regarding the critical thinking and English paper, DS said he wasn't sure about the comprehension and the critical thinking paper was not what he expected. He started rambling on about one question and tbh, I'm confused what he was trying to say LoL.
user1473290348, DS said comprehension was much easier than he thought it will be ( he is a voracious reader but didnât come across with a lot of poetry before ) and he got stuck on the last critical thinking question, he thinks it was wrongly wordedâŠ. He did say the questions were unusual but he didnât find them hard except for the last one. Not finding it hard doesnât necessarily mean he got it right though. I am more cautious about his writing, although he is strong in English his imagination is still immature, his stories are very often make more sense in his little head than in ours. He is a summer born boy.
London2007 · 11/12/2022 07:01
My son will sit the Whitgift 11+ in January. May I know what's in the critical thinking paper? Is it VR or NVR or something else?
Hi AC7001, itâs neither. Itâs more like problem solving verbal questions. For example x is 4 years younger than b and b is 5 older than z. Z is 12 years old, how old is x etc. or figure out a direction ( N,W,E,S) from a description. At 10+ they had 20 questions for 30 minutes. I donât think they are particularly difficult but they have very little time to figure them out so I think it is testing their natural ability and concentration skills as this was after the 2 hours English and Maths.

Founded by the eponymous John Whitgift in the sixteenth century, Whitgift School is situated in Croydon, South London, amongst extensive playing fields. A large school, with just under 1,300 boys enrolled, it caters for both day pupils and boarders (full boarding available from Year 9 onwards but flexi-boarding from Year 7), with a fairly high proportion travelling to the UK to board. Entry to the school is mainly via the 11+ but occasional places are offered throughout each year, though the number of vacancies can vary. Separate entry points at 10+ and 13+ remain popular with a few sixth form applications at 16+. To be offered a place, boys will need to perform well on their assessments as well as at interview. Below, you can meet our tutors who have experience supporting boys to Whitgift and read our guide to the most popular entry points.
Open days and Events at Whitgift School
Open events take place at Whitgift School each term, and details can be found on the school website. These are pre-bookable, and places are limited. There is also an excellent virtual tour available for those unable to travel to the school in person. For those interested in finding out more about the school before making a decision, Whitgift School also publish a regular podcast which is available online to download.
The process for 10+ and 11+ entry to Whitgift School is largely the same, with slightly different entry papers depending on the age of the child. If a boy is unsuccessful at 10+, there is nothing to stop him applying again for 11+ entry the following year.
Following an application in Year 5 for 10+ entry (or Year 6 for 11+ entry), boys are invited to an examination day in the latter part of the Autumn Term. Here they will sit assessments in English, Maths and Critical Thinking. The English paper is divided into two parts. Firstly, boys are assessed on their creative writing skills, and secondly, on their spelling, grammatical and punctuation accuracy and their comprehension skills. The comprehension will often be a poem. The Maths exam is non-calculator and consists of a mix of basic and more complex problem-solving questions. Critical thinking sample papers are not available but recent experience suggests they are based on types of problem solving questions commonly found at this level.
The second stage of the process is an invitation to an interview, which takes place in the Spring Term prior to entry. Parents are also interviewed at this point, and a decision is taken shortly thereafter, with offers posted by February half term.
13+ entry to Whitgift School is a popular choice, with places available for boarders in advance if they sit the 11+ exam papers in Year 6. Day pupils will apply in Year 8 and sit entrance examinations in English, Maths and Science in the Autumn Term. Sample papers are available on the website. The 13+ English exam at Whitgift School consists of a comprehension and a creative writing paper, with an emphasis on an understanding of poetry. The 13+ Maths exam is a mixture of basic calculations and problem-solving questions and is non-calculator. The 13+ Science paper is based on the National Curriculum for that age group and consists of a mix of shorter and longer answers.
The second stage of the 13+ entry process to Whitgift School is an invitation to interview, which takes place in the Autumn Term; parents are also interviewed and a decision is made shortly after this, with offers posted by the end of the term.
16+ entry to Whitgift School is available through a two stage process. The first stage is an entrance examination, taken in two of the pupilâs proposed A-Level or IB subject choices and also in Critical Thinking. Boys are expected to achieve good GCSE results, with a minimum number of grades at grade 7. The second stage is an interview with a senior member of staff at Whitgift School; parents are also interviewed and a decision is made shortly after this, with offers posted by the end of the Autumn Term.
Scholarships are available at Whitgift School. Academic scholarships are awarded following the entrance examinations; some are worth up to 50% of the fees. Boys who wish to be awarded an academic scholarship at 11+ will have an extra stage to their application, a scholarship assessment day at school, to which they will be invited.
Scholarships are also available for Art, Design and Technology, Music, Drama and Sport. Art, Drama, Music and Sport scholarships are available at all entry points. Design and Technology scholarships are available at 13+ and 16+ only. Detailed information is available on the website, but it should be noted that prospective pupils can be awarded a maximum of three different scholarships.
Bursaries are available at Whitgift School for those boys who would otherwise be unable to access the education the school provides. The John Whitgift Foundation makes provision for bursarial support for up to 110% of the fees (thus including extras such as trips and uniform). Details are available on the website, and an application for a bursary must be made at the same time as a general application to the school.

How to pass school entrance exams.
Passing the 11 Plus is not an event, it is a journey that requires planning and preparation. The critical point to understand is that there are very few good, second chance options. Entry at 13+ is limited, as are occasional places. There is then a huge variation in average A-Level grade performance by school. In short, it is your best chance of giving your child the sort of start in life which will lead to excellent A-Levels, degree and career prospects.
Every year we help parents who did not get into the school they wanted. Almost always it is because no one told them that they needed to start their journey a year before and then run it like a campaign. If you plan it right, and you give your child enough time, you stand the best chance of ending it with success. Spacing your campaign over a year also minimises the pressure on your child who is, undoubtedly, too young to cram.
How do we know this.
We have taken over 30,000 pupils through their school entrance exams over the last 40 years. Every year we support scores of children to get into top independent schools such as City of London, James Allenâs Girlsâ School, Highgate, KCS Wimbledon, Alleynâs, Emanuel and more. We also support many into the toughest grammar schools such as Tiffin (Girls and Boys), Dame Alice Owenâs, Henrietta Barnett, Sutton Grammar School and more. Our scholarship record is exceptional.
Our tutors are experts in their field, mainly qualified teachers, and all have extensive experience of the demands of school admissions. We have a full time school entrance co-ordinator who will get to know your child and your aspirations and will co-ordinate their journey. We are independently rated as the Number One tutoring agency in London by School Report Magazine and feature in the Good Schools Guide of top tutoring agencies.
The bedrock of most childrenâs experiences is school. The exam is taken in January of Year Six and pupils are expected to be operating at the level of a Year Seven pupil. Therefore, unless your school is actively preparing your child for it, they will not have covered the syllabus â regardless of how good they are at the syllabus that they do know.
Most parents of children at preparatory schools also find that this is not enough. In our experience, 10 â 20% of parents tell people that their child is really being tutored alone. But 70 â 80% of children are being tutored. As such, if parents assume school preparation is enough, they are likely to find that other parents have stolen a march on them.
However, what is not appropriate is to push a child for an exam and a school which is wrong for them. We are not a hot house. We believe in finding the right school for pupils. Every school has different academic standards and different value systems. Before setting out on the journey one must first decide what is the right set of target schools for their child.
The initial step is usually an Academic Assessment. At Mentor Education, we are one of the few agencies licenced to use the CEM test, which is the spine for the test used by leading independent schools. The CEM test involves your child sitting a digital, adaptive test, similar to traditional entrance exams, following which you will receive a report which statistically places your child within their cohort and gives you a full educational consultantâs guide to appropriate target schools. It becomes the starting point for you and your tutorâs journey to support your child.
Then starts the tuition. Tutoring must be tailored to filling gaps in the curriculum, gaining speed and gaining certainty around answers. It is not enough to choose a Primary school teacher. The 11+ is a specific test that requires bespoke tutoring. Mentor Educationâs tutors are specialised in this test.
There are four elements of the syllabus â English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-verbal Reasoning. One must ensure that the pupil is well rounded in all four aspects. Often this will require different tutors to manage different elements â this is the strength of using a full service agency rather than one man band tutors.

Critical thinking, also known as critical reasoning, is the ability to assess a situationâŻand consider/understand various perspectives, all while acknowledging, extracting and deciphering facts, opinions and assumptions. Critical thinking tests are a sub-type of aptitude exams  or psychometric tests used in pre-employment assessment for jobs reacquiring advanced analytical and learning skills.
Critical thinking tests can have 5 major sections or sub-tests that assess and measure a variety of aspects.
In this section, you are asked to draw conclusions from observed or supposed facts. You are presented with a short text containing a set of facts you should consider as true.
Below the text is a statement that could be inferred from the text. You need to make a judgement on whether this statement is valid or not, based on what you have read.
Furthermore, you are asked to evaluate whether the statement is true, probably true, there is insufficient data to determine, probably false, or false.
For example: Â if a baby is crying and it is his feeding time, you may infer that the baby is hungry. However, the baby may be crying for other reasonsâperhaps it is hot.
In this section, you are asked to recognise whether an assumption is justifiable or not.
Here you are given a statement followed by an assumption on that statement. You need to establish whether this assumption can be supported by the statement or not.
You are being tested on your ability to avoid taking things for granted that are not necessarily true. For example, you may say, "Iâll have the same job in three months," but you would be taking for granted the fact that your workplace won't make you redundant, or that you wonât decide to quit and explore various other possibilities.
You are asked to choose between the options of assumption made and assumption not made.
This section tests your ability to weigh information and decide whether given conclusions are warranted.
You are presented with a statement of facts followed by a conclusion on what you have read. For example, you may be told, "Nobody in authority can avoid making uncomfortable decisions."
You must then decide whether a statement such as "All people must make uncomfortable decisions" is warranted from the first statement.
You need to assess whether the conclusion follows or the conclusion does not follow what is contained in the statement. You can read more about our deductive logical thinking test  resources here.Â
This section measures your ability to understand the weighing of different arguments on a particular question or issue.
You are given a short paragraph to read, which you are expected to take as true. This paragraph is followed by a suggested conclusion, for which you must decide if it follows beyond a reasonable doubt.
You have the choice of conclusion follows and conclusion does not follow.
In this section you are asked to evaluate the strength of an argument.
You are given a question followed by an argument. The argument is considered to be true, but you must decide whether it is a strong or weak argument, i.e. whether it is both important and directly related to the question.
Job-seeking can be a long and frustrating process that can take months, involving several pre-employment tests or interviews. To guide you through it we offer a Premium Membership:

As there are various forms of critical thinking and critical reasoning, we've provided a number of critical thinking sample questions.
You can take our full Critical Thinking Sample Test to see more questions.
Which of the following is true?
The correct answer is C
Answer explanation: In a question of this type, the rule is very simple: the main conclusion of an argument is found either in the first or the last sentence. If, however, the main conclusion appears in the middle of an argument, it will begin with a signal word such as thus, therefore, or so. Regardless of where the main conclusion appears, the rest of the passage will give the reasons why the conclusion is true or should be adopted. The main conclusion in this passage is the last sentence, signaled by the words, 'This indicates that people who are especially empathetic are more likely to adopt a pet than people who are less empathetic'.
A: No. Differential bonuses have been found to create a hostile working environment, which leads to a decrease in the quality and quantity of products .
This argument is:
The correct answer is A (Strong)
Schema of the statement: Differential cash bonuses (productivityâ) â workplaceâ
Explanation: This argument targets both the action and the consequences of the action on the object of the statement. It states that the action (implementing differential cash bonuses) has a negative effect on the workplace (a decrease in the quality and quantity of products). Therefore, it is an important argument, one that is relevant for the workplace. Note that this argument does not specifically target differential cash bonuses. Still, they are considered a sub-group of the subject of the argument (differential bonuses).
Proposed assumption: Vicki and Bill encountered a personal battle because they couldnât come to terms with their disease.
A. Conclusion follows
B. Conclusion does not follow
The correct answer is BÂ (Conclusion does not follow)
It is plausible that the reason people who suffer from sleep apnoea encounter a personal battle is because of an inability to come to terms with this disease. However, since the passage does not provide an actual reason, you cannot reach this conclusion without reasonable doubt.Â
The most common type of Critical Thinking Assessment is the Watson Glaser .
Difficult and time-pressured, the Watsong Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA) takes a unique testing approach that breaks away from more traditional assessments. To see examples, check out our free Watson Glaser practice test .

Very Likely the Watson-Glaser test
Another popular critical thinking assessment, Watson-Glaser is a well-established psychometric test produced by Pearson Assessments.
The Watson-Glaser test is used for two main purposes: job selection/talent management and academic evaluations. The Watson-Glaser test can be administered online or in-person.

Critical Thinking can refer to various skills:
Pearson TalentLens condenses critical thinking into three major areas:
These are abilities that employers highly value in their employees, because they come into play in many stages of problem-solving and decision-making processes in the workplace, especially in business, management and law.
Critical thinking, or critical reasoning, is important to employers because they want to see that when dealing with an issue, you are able to make logical decisions without involving emotions.
Being able to look past emotions will help you to be open-minded, confident, and decisiveâmaking your decisions more logical and sound.
Below are some professions that use critical thinking tests and assessments during the hiring process as well as some positions that demand critical thinking and reasoning skills:

vaule for money, very please with it
This a wonderful resource for children preparing for the London Consortium Girls' Schools entrance exams. It enhances their reasoning skills.
They provided a very good base for the subject.
Very challenging questions to get the little (and not so little) brains working. My daughter enjoyed these, though some of them seem too hard for 10 year old
There is not much material out there which is similar to this. Once again, EPP has proved they are ahead of the market by publishing updated and relevant content. Hreayw job!
