About St. George's Weybridge

St George's is a Catholic independent day school in Addlestone, near Weybridge, and educates boys and girls together. Founded by the Josephite order as a boys' boarding school, it admitted girls to the sixth form before becoming fully co-educational, and now runs as a day school.

The entrance exam

The 11+ assessment splits into two parts. Verbal Reasoning and Non-verbal Reasoning are tested online through the CEM Select Evaluate Abilities assessment, a format developed by the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring at the University of Durham, now part of Cambridge Assessment. Mathematics and English are set and marked by the College itself, with the English paper covering extended writing, comprehension and technical skills. Candidates called for interview meet the College as part of the wider assessment process.

• Verbal Reasoning: Tested online via CEM Select Evaluate Abilities assessment
• Non-verbal Reasoning: Tested online via CEM Select Evaluate Abilities assessment
• Mathematics: Paper set and marked by the College
• English: Paper set and marked by the College, assessing extended writing, comprehension and technical skills

Past papers and familiarisation

The College sends families a familiarisation web-link ahead of the assessment date, alongside CEM's general parental guidance, both available from the Admissions Downloads page.

Past Mathematics and English papers set by the College are published in the same location, giving a clear sense of the standard and style expected in those two subjects. Families preparing for the Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning components typically draw on general CEM-style practice materials, since the familiarisation link covers format and structure for that part of the assessment.

Preparing with Taylor Tuition

The St George's 11+ rewards steady preparation over a year or so, with the last term given to timed practice and interview confidence. Having prepared pupils for entry to leading independent and grammar schools, with placements including Westminster, St Paul's, Wycombe Abbey and Eton, our tutors match the programme to the school's assessment format and to where the child is starting from.

Because the pool includes former heads of department, exam-board examiners and teachers from independent and boarding schools, and more than half of our tutors hold Qualified Teacher Status, families get a tutor who understands what the assessors are looking for. Every tutor who works with children holds an enhanced DBS check.

Families work with us online from anywhere in the UK or abroad, and in person in central London. Fees start from £50 per 50-minute session and depend on tutor level and subject, with no registration fee and a free initial consultation to talk through your child's current level and the timeline to the 11+. Families receive progress reports after sessions and have a dedicated point of contact, and we reply to enquiries within one working day with tutor recommendations.
