11+ Trafford
11+ Trafford - Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium (TGSC)
There are five grammar schools in the Trafford area of Greater Manchester that belong to the Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium. The five schools in the Consortium all use the same 11 plus admissions test. In addition there are two Catholic state funded grammar schools in the Trafford area that are not part of the Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium. These schools have their own admissions exams, details of which can be found on our 11+ Greater Manchester page.
The TGSC test consists of two written papers, each takes about an hour including instructions. All questions are multiple choice format and answers are recorded on a separate Optical Mark Reading (OMR) answer sheet which will be read by a computer. Each paper is divided into three subject areas. Verbal Reasoning, Non-verbal Reasoning and Mathematics.
