Specialist 11 Plus tutors in Yorkshire, Yorkshire prepare children for the Mixed (GL Assessment and FSCE) exam format used by local grammar schools, including Ripon Grammar School. Compare rates and profiles, and enquire directly with no agency fees.
Yorkshire's selective schools are few and scattered, which makes them fiercely contested. Find a specialist tutor, compare rates, read profiles and enquire directly. No agency fees.
The North Yorkshire schools coordinate admissions through North Yorkshire Council, with registration typically from late April to the end of June of Year 5 and tests in September of Year 6. Ermysted's uses GL Assessment papers in English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Heckmondwike Grammar School uses FSCE papers covering English, maths and creative writing, registered through Kirklees Council. Formats differ by school, so check each target school's current arrangements.
Because selective places are so scarce in Yorkshire, the grammar schools draw from wide catchments: Ripon from across the Harrogate district and beyond, the Skipton schools from the Aire valley and East Lancashire border towns, and Heckmondwike from across Kirklees, Leeds and Bradford. Families often prepare for one specific school rather than a regional format, which makes school-specific past paper practice especially valuable.

The main selective state schools are Ripon Grammar School, Ermysted's Grammar School and Skipton Girls' High School in North Yorkshire, and Heckmondwike Grammar School in Kirklees. Calderdale also operates selective schools around Halifax and Brighouse. Each school or authority runs its own registration and test; there is no county-wide Yorkshire 11+.
It varies by school. Ermysted's uses GL Assessment papers covering English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, while Heckmondwike uses FSCE papers in English, maths and creative writing. The North Yorkshire schools coordinate registration through the county council. Always confirm the current format on your target school's admissions page before buying practice materials.
Registration windows generally open in late April and close by the end of June of Year 5, with the entrance tests sat in September of Year 6 and results in October. Heckmondwike registrations go through Kirklees Council and the North Yorkshire schools through North Yorkshire Council, each with their own forms and deadlines.
Selective places are scarce across such a large region, so every one of these schools is oversubscribed, with applicants travelling significant distances. Ripon and the Skipton schools serve wide rural catchments, and Heckmondwike draws from across West Yorkshire. A strong, format-specific preparation through Year 5 is the norm among successful applicants.
