We're campaigning for a secondary school system with fair admissions & no more 11-plus. Children are more likely to succeed in high quality all-ability schools.

ALT Educators against the 11+ logo
This September, children across England face the 11-plus. Kent & Bucks (11th), Warwickshire (13th), Medway (16–17th), Lincolnshire (13th & 20th) plus many more tests around the country. One high-stakes test shouldn’t decide a child’s future.
Parents know the hidden cost of the 11-plus: stress, anxiety, and lost confidence. Share your story anonymously at 11+ Anonymous.👉 11plusanonymous.org/

Research shows the 11-plus harms wellbeing and damages academic confidence. High-stakes tests have no place in primary school. comprehensivefuture.org.uk/r…
