Eleven Plus Vault is a free library of UK 11+ practice-paper study guides and parent-friendly guidance. We were built by a small team of parents who lived through the 11+ process across three different grammar school regions — and quickly discovered that the practical information families actually need is scattered across forums, blog comments and the small print of school admissions PDFs.
What we do
We do three things. First, we maintain a structured catalogue of 11+ practice-paper study guides, organised by region, subject and year so the format your child will face is easy to find. Second, each study guide explains the typical booklet format, how parents use that kind of paper at home, and what the mark scheme rewards — we do not host or distribute the paper booklets themselves. Third, we maintain plain-English explainers of the bits of the 11+ system that confuse most families on first contact: scaled scores, age standardisation, sitting dates, appeals processes and the differences between GL Assessment, CEM and bespoke consortium tests.
What we don't do
We do not sell tutoring, revision courses, or paid downloads. We do not host, distribute or link to past paper downloads — papers remain with their original publishers. We do not run adverts, and we do not collect personal data on visitors beyond standard server logs.
Editorial policy
Every guidance article on the site is written by a parent who has been through the 11+ in the relevant region. Where we describe a region's test arrangements (sitting dates, provider, paper format), always verify the current details with the local authority or school before relying on them. Where regional practice has changed in recent years, we note the change explicitly rather than letting old information drift quietly out of date.
How we are funded
Eleven Plus Vault is an independently run free resource. It currently shows no adverts and accepts no sponsored content, paid placements, or affiliate arrangements. If you find the site useful, the most helpful thing you can do is share it with another parent who is starting the 11+ journey.
