Trafford 11+ Maths and English Checklist
A practical Maths and English checklist for Trafford 11+ families preparing for GL or FSCE-style entrance routes.
Maths checklist
Pupils should be confident with place value, the four operations, times tables, factors, multiples, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, measures, time, money, geometry, data handling and multi-step word problems.
The key question is whether the child can apply these skills when the topic is not announced. Mixed timed practice helps reveal that.
English checklist
Pupils should build reading stamina, inference, retrieval, vocabulary in context, grammar, punctuation, spelling and the ability to explain evidence from a text.
For any curriculum-led 11+ format, English confidence matters because pupils must read accurately under time pressure and understand what a question is really asking.
