Questions parents ask
When is the Gloucestershire FSCE 11+ test in 2027?
Saturday 3 July 2027, at the end of Year 5, for Year 7 entry in September 2028. Registration opens at 12 noon on Monday 8 February 2027 and closes at 12 noon on Friday 19 March 2027. Check the schools' admissions pages before you rely on the dates.
Has the Gloucestershire 11+ changed to FSCE?
Yes. From September 2028 entry the seven grammar schools use a test written for them by FSCE (Future Stories Community Enterprise) instead of the GL test. It is sat at the end of Year 5, not in September of Year 6, and it has no Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning paper.
Are there past papers?
No. FSCE publishes no past papers and changes its content every year. The free familiarisation guides on the schools' admissions pages are the official material, and worth reading with your child. Their 18 sample questions will not be on the real test, FSCE says.
Will my child see these questions in the test?
No, and nobody can honestly promise that. FSCE publishes no papers and changes the test every year. 11+ Daily is practice for what it is built on: English and Maths up to Year 5, the other school subjects, and both ways of answering.
How is 11+ For Gloucestershire FSCE different from the rest of 11+ Daily?
It is the same app, set up for this test: English, Maths and Across the Curriculum instead of the reasoning subjects, written answers as well as multiple choice, and every question aimed at Year 5 or below. After you sign up, the app asks when the exam is: set the exam board to FSCE Gloucestershire.
How much does it cost?
The same as 11+ Daily: £99 a year or £9.99 a month, after a 14-day free trial with no card needed.
