Berkshire 11+ pass marks: Slough and Reading

Facts checked 19 October 2026By ExamKind Editorial Team

Some details are being re-checked

We check every fact against the official source on a schedule, and some details on this page are due their next check (last verified 19 October 2026). We'll update the page if anything has changed. How we check facts

In short

There is no single Berkshire pass mark, because there is no Berkshire-wide test. Slough's grammar schools share one test, and Kendrick School and Reading School each test separately. Each test has its own scores and its own rules, so a score from one test cannot be used for, or compared with, another. This page points you to the right place for the schools you are considering.

Pass marks in each Berkshire area

Each area's page gives its qualifying score and each school's cut-offs, with every figure linked to its source. Where an area has no pass-mark page yet, the link goes to its results page or guide.

Where to find the scores

  • Slough 11+ pass marks. The Slough Consortium sets one eligibility mark for its four grammar schools. That page gives the mark, how each school then offered places, and a source for every figure.
  • Reading 11+ results. Kendrick School and Reading School each run their own test and send their own results. Neither school's scores are covered here yet. The Reading results page explains what each school's result means and what to do next, and the Kendrick School and Reading School pages set out each school's admission rules.

Making sense of a score

  • Qualifying is not a place. Reaching a school's score makes a child eligible to be considered. Each school then offers places by its own admission rules, which can include where you live.
  • Compare like with like. Compare a school's figures with its own past years, not with a school that uses a different test.
  • Past scores are history. A pass mark tells you what happened in one year. It does not predict next year's.

Next steps
