11 Plus Entrance Exam Dates Trafford

Posted on February 18, 2012 by pjweducation

So looking at the websites of the various grammar schools in and around Trafford, there are some dates of entrance exams for autumn of 2012 which are posted. This is what we have so far…

Altrincham Boys and Girls – Saturday 15th September
Urmston Grammar School – Saturday 22nd September
Stretford Gramma School – Saturday 29th September
Loreto Grammar School – Saturday 29th September***
Sale Grammar School – Saturday 6th October

Ok, the first thing that stands out about these dates is that Stretofrd and Loreto have somehow managed to schedule their entrance exams on the same day! The reason I put 3 stars after Loreto is because I took this date from a draft proposal on their website which would suggest that it isn’t absolutely finalised yet. It will be interesting to see what develops in this regard as I have not known this to happen before.

If you wish to keep up with more information about this, you can go to each school’s website (follow the links from this page on my site – here ) or alternatively join my free newsletter for regular updates here http://www.pjweducation.co.uk/
