11Plus Vault is a free, ad-supported library of UK 11+ past papers and parent-friendly study 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 catalogue freely-available 11+ practice papers, organised by region, subject and year so they're easy to find. Second, we publish a study page for every paper that explains what's in the booklet, how parents typically use it at home, and what the mark scheme rewards. 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 re-host papers that aren't ours to share — when a paper exists on a publisher's own site, we link to it there. We do not collect personal data on visitors beyond what our analytics provider does by default, and we do not run targeted ads at children.
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 make a factual claim about a region's test arrangements (sitting dates, provider, paper format), we cite the source on the same page. 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practice has changed in recent years, we note the change explicitly rather than letting old information drift quietly out of date.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
11Plus Vault is funded by the modest display adverts shown on our pages. We do not accept sponsored content, paid placements, or affiliate arrangements that would influence which papers we recommend. 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.
