Blackheath High School 11+

Three GL Assessment papers: English, maths and verbal reasoning, then a teacher interview.

What the test covers

  • Reading comprehension
  • Maths
  • Verbal reasoning
  • Interview

Girls only, part of the GDST. The papers are set by GL Assessment, the same company as the Kent Test, so expect multiple-choice English, maths and verbal reasoning (codes, letter and word puzzles). No non-verbal reasoning or creative writing paper is named. A teacher interview follows in January; our practice does not cover the interview, so talk through school life, reading and hobbies with your child at home. The school does not publish timings or whether the papers are on paper or on screen.

Official free practice material

The school names three GL Assessment papers (English, maths and verbal reasoning) and a teacher interview. We have not found free sample papers from the school; GL Assessment's own free familiarisation material shows the style.

What to practise

  • Reading comprehension: Read widely every day and answer questions about what the writer means, not only what happens.
  • Maths: Keep arithmetic quick and accurate, and practise multi-step word problems up to the end of Year 6.
  • Verbal reasoning: Build vocabulary and learn the common verbal reasoning question types: codes, hidden words, series and word links.
  • Interview: Talk about books, interests and current events in full sentences, and explain how you worked something out.
