Why Great Baddow Families Choose 11 Plus Tuition
Parents in Great Baddow frequently consider 11 Plus tuition once they understand the importance of early, consistent preparation for the CSSE entrance examination. Many families choose structured support to help their child become familiar with the exam format.
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Great Baddow Families
Essex is home to eleven Grammar Schools, with two located in Chelmsford itself, making selective secondary school entry a very real consideration for families in Great Baddow.
King Edward VI Grammar School (KEGS) admits 150 boys per year, with 120 of those places prioritised for boys living within 12.5 miles of the school, a radius that comfortably includes Great Baddow and the CM2 postcode area. Chelmsford County High School for Girls is a selective, non-denominational girls’ school with Academy Status. The School’s published admission number for Year 7 in 2027 is 180 places.
Chelmsford County High School for Girls is a highly selective Grammar School. It is the only school in Essex that is not part of the Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex. It has its own entrance exam, provided by Future Stories Community Enterprise (FSCE).
For the students starting Year 7 at KEGS in September 2025, the lowest score obtained by an ‘in-area applicant ‘ who was neither in receipt of the Pupil Premium payment nor classified as a looked-after child was 354 (rounded to the nearest whole number).
These realities, and the intense competition for a limited number of Grammar School places each year, explain why so many Great Baddow families begin structured 11 Plus preparation early and seek expert support to give their child the strongest possible foundation.

For September 2027 entry, CSSE registration has now closed. Parents who missed the CSSE window should check directly with Essex County Council regarding late registration options and next steps. The CSSE exam is scheduled for Saturday, 19 September 2026, with results released in mid-October 2026.
Students from Great Baddow who are planning a later route into Grammar School can also benefit from our 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition programmes.
How a Great Baddow Student Strengthened Their 11 Plus Performance
A personalised preparation plan was created for a Year 4 student in Great Baddow after an assessment identified strengths in Maths and areas requiring additional focus in English comprehension and written accuracy. The students improved their overall exam technique and readiness for Chelmsford Grammar School tests over 18 months of guided preparation, which included weekly lessons, independent practice, and timed mock papers.
11 Plus Maths
The Maths paper in the CSSE 11 Plus is a 60-minute written paper covering KS2 content: number, measurement, geometry, statistics and algebraic reasoning, designed to challenge pupils well beyond everyday classroom expectations. Unlike multiple-choice tests, the CSSE Maths paper requires children to show their working, which means accuracy, clarity and method all count. Our tutors teach children to approach multi-step problems logically, apply their knowledge to new contexts and manage their time carefully across the paper. We build strong working habits and checking strategies from the start. Find out more about our approach on our 11 Plus preparation page.
11 Plus English
The English paper in the CSSE 11 Plus is a 60-minute written paper (plus 10 minutes reading time) with two sections: reading comprehension and creative writing. This makes the CSSE English paper notably different from multiple-choice 11 Plus tests; children must write extended, structured responses under timed conditions. Our online English sessions develop depth of comprehension, analytical writing, creative writing techniques, grammar accuracy, and vocabulary range. Children practise both sections regularly with timed exercises, learning how to read carefully, structure answers clearly and express ideas with precision and flair within the time available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who provides online 11 Plus tuition in Great Baddow, Chelmsford?
Adnan Khan Tutoring provides live online 11 Plus lessons for Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 children in Great Baddow and the surrounding CM2 area. All lessons are delivered online and are structured around the CSSE 11 Plus entrance exam and, where applicable, the CCHS entrance test used by Chelmsford County High School for Girls.
Which Grammar Schools can children from Great Baddow apply to?
Great Baddow sits within the priority area for both Chelmsford Grammar Schools. Boys can apply to King Edward VI Grammar School (KEGS). Girls can apply to Chelmsford County High School for Girls (CCHS), which uses its separate entrance test.
What does the Essex CSSE 11 Plus exam include?
The CSSE 11 Plus consists of two written papers sat on the same day: an English paper (60 minutes plus 10 minutes’ reading time) covering comprehension and creative writing, and a Mathematics paper (60 minutes) covering KS2 content. There is no Verbal Reasoning or Non-Verbal Reasoning element.
Is Chelmsford County High School for Girls part of the CSSE?
No. Chelmsford County High School for Girls (CCHS) is the only Essex Grammar School that does not use the CSSE exam. It runs its separate entrance test through Future Stories Community Enterprise (FSCE). Girls applying to both CCHS and any CSSE Grammar School will need to sit two separate tests on different dates. Families should check the CCHS website directly for its registration deadlines and test dates.
When should a child in Great Baddow start 11 Plus preparation?
We recommend beginning in Year 3 or Year 4. The CSSE written papers require a level of written English proficiency and mathematical reasoning that takes time to develop. Starting early allows thorough, unhurried preparation across both papers, with regular timed practice and full mock exams in the months leading up to the September test in Year 6.
What are the key dates for the Essex CSSE 11 Plus for 2027 Grammar School entry?
CSSE registration opened on 12 May 2026 and closed on 19 June 2026. The CSSE exam is scheduled for Saturday, 19 September 2026. Results will be released in mid-October 2026. The Common Application Form must be submitted to Essex County Council by 31 October 2026. National Offer Day is 1 March 2027.
Is online 11 Plus tuition as effective as in-person lessons?
Yes. Live online lessons with screen sharing, real-time teaching and immediate feedback deliver the same quality of preparation as face-to-face tuition. Combined with regular homework and full-time mock exams, our programme provides children in Great Baddow and across CM2 with thorough, focused preparation for the CSSE written papers and the CCHS entrance test, all without any need to travel.
