Wondering how the CSSE standardised scoring system works?

We've written a short blog post explaining how it works and how to interpret your child's score once they've sat their 11+ exam.

Our office team is also always on hand to help you with this, so if you have any questions about it, please do get in touch!

11+ Scores Explained: Understanding the Standardised Scoring System A key component of the CSSE 11+ exam is the standardised scoring system, which ensures fairness and consistency in evaluating student performance.

Want to help your child boost their creative writing English mark at home? 📝✨

When examiners mark creative writing, they aren't just looking for good spelling, they are looking for maturity and language control. The easiest way to demonstrate this is by "Showing" instead of "Telling."

It’s the difference between a story that is read and a story that is felt.

See our latest blog post on our website below for 3 simple tips you can practice at home with your child to help their writing stand out from the crowd! 👇

Creative Writing: How To "Show, Not Tell" Help your child master the 11+ creative writing exam. Learn why "showing" vs "telling" is the secret to higher marks and how sensory details can transform their stories.

📊 11+ Results: What percentage does your child really need?

Many parents ask what mark is “enough” for grammar school entry. But the truth is that these scores change every year depending on the cohort so focusing only on percentages can be misleading.

What really makes the difference is how well your child is prepared and how confident they feel.

At Jacqui Robinson Education, we help children:
✅ Build a deep understanding of Maths and English
✅ Develop strong problem-solving and reasoning skills
✅ Make learning fun
✅ Improve reading comprehension and vocabulary
✅ Gain confidence in tackling unfamiliar questions
✅ Learn to work accurately and at the right pace
✅ Develop exam technique without unnecessary pressure
✅ Grow resilience, focus, and independence

Our approach reflects what the exam board values: strong foundations, confidence, and a genuine ability to problem solve.
