London 11+ pass marks: borough by borough

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 London pass mark. London's grammar schools are in a handful of outer boroughs, and each borough, or each school, runs its own test with its own scores and rules. A score from one test cannot be used for, or compared with, another. This page points you to the right borough page.

Pass marks in each London 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.

Find your borough's scores

Listed A to Z by borough. Bromley, Kingston and Redbridge have their own pass-marks pages. For the other boroughs, the results page explains what the result means, and each school's page shows the admissions figures the school publishes.

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. Schools use different tests and sometimes different score scales, so compare a school's figures with its own past years, not with schools in another borough.
  • Past scores are history. A pass mark tells you what happened in one year. It does not predict next year's.

One application

However many tests your child sits, you make one application. London uses the One London-wide application system (the Pan-London scheme) for the 33 London councils and SurreyLondon: Coordinated admissionsChecked 13 Oct 2026 against London Borough of Redbridge.The source says: The common online application system used by the 33 London LAs and Surrey County CouncilView the official source.
