Francis Holland School Sloane Square is part of the London 11+ Consortium (along with its sister school at Regent’s Park) which is an association of 14 independent London day schools for girls operating one exam group.

Please note that http://london11plus.co.uk/ is the Consortium’s ONLY official website – please be aware of similarly named websites which are not associated with, or supported by, the London 11+ Consortium.

The London 11+ Consortium introduced a bespoke assessment process for Year 7 2023. The assessment goes beyond testing cognitive ability alone and seeks to discover a child’s potential in creative and critical thinking, analysis, synthesis and problem-solving. This test is 100 minutes in total and is taken in the candidate’s current school, but where this is not possible, provision is made in all Consortium schools for candidates to sit the test there.

Please note the following key dates:

• Closing date for registrations: Friday 8th November 2024
• Consortium Assessment dates: Friday 29th November, Tuesday 3rd December or Thursday 5th December 2024
• Offer date: Friday 14th February 2025
• Deadline to accept: 12 noon on Thursday 6th March 2025

In addition to the assessment, all applicants are invited into Francis Holland, Sloane Square for a half day of interviews on Tuesday 7th January 2025 to assess their skills in problem-solving, critical thinking and creativity. We also request a reference from the Head of your daughter’s Junior School using a common reference form.

The interview and reference form important parts of the assessment process enabling us to get to know each child individually, thereby giving us a more complete picture of your daughter’s unique personality and ability.

The London 11+ Consortium Code of Practice and FAQs, which offers further information on the Consortium, can be found below along with Familiarisation Materials for the new Consortium online assessment.
