Please note: if you want your child to sit the CSSE 11+ exam this year, registration opens on 12th May.
It is your responsibility to register your child - neither tutors nor schools can do this for you.
Your child does NOT need to sit the exam at your first preference school, in fact, it’s often better to sit it at a quieter base such as Shoeburyness High School or, if they are available this year, St Bernard’s or St Thomas More.
To register, you need to go to www.csse.org.uk and fill in the registration form.
Please note: you cannot register before 12th May and must apply before 19th June.
You should receive a copy of the 2027 Entry InformationGuide from your child’s school. If not, it is available as a download on the CSSE website.
Home - CSSE CSSE is centered around the CSSE 11+ Examination process in Essex, UK. Offering detailed information on examination dates, registration processes, schools involved, and transportation. It serves as a key resource for parents and students preparing for the 11+ entrance exams.
