About the 11 plus
What is the South West Herts Consortium?
Seven partially-selective grammar schools in South West Hertfordshire have combined to select their pupils based on the results of one 11 plus exam, known as a secondary transfer test. It is used to assess:
Your child's progress and potential in core subjects
Whether your child is likely to thrive at grammar school
These schools assess candidates on academic, music and/or sports criteria. This is unique to the South West Herts Consortium.
Which schools are in the South West Herts Consortium?
Croxley Danes School – music criteria only
Parmiter's School – academic & music criteria
Queens' School – academic, music & sports criteria
Rickmansworth School – academic & music criteria
St Clement Danes School – academic & music criteria
Watford Grammar School for Boys – academic & music criteria
Watford Grammar School for Girls – academic & music criteria

What is the Academic Ability Test?
If your child is applying to a South West Hertfordshire grammar school under the academic criterion, they will take two paper tests in maths and verbal reasoning. Both of these are administered by GL Assessment.
Your child may apply to any of the grammar schools under the music criterion or, if you have registered your child for Queen's School, the sports criterion. See the South West Herts Schools Consortium website for more details.
