Parents searching for Forest School 11+ past papers usually want two things at once: a realistic sense of the exam, and a way to practise under time without guessing which topics matter. Forest School sits in North / East London, and the entrance process is built around Forest School own 11+ assessments (English and Maths).. In practice that means English and Maths papers for selective co-educational day-school entry., delivered as Typically around 45–60 minutes per paper in recent practice sets — confirm timings with the school.. Our catalogue lists the Forest School papers we hold with free question sheets and paid worked answers, marking and topic reports — so you can see which skills are actually costing marks rather than relying on a single overall score. Use the format notes below as orientation, then confirm dates on the school site: Register via Forest School admissions; deadlines are published on forest.org.uk each year. Entrance assessments are typically held in Year 6. Offers follow Forest’s published admissions timetable. On scoring: Forest does not publish a single pass mark; selection is based on exam performance plus the wider admissions process. The best preparation pattern is short, timed papers with a review of wrong and slow questions the same day. Rotate English and Maths so pacing stays fresh, and keep a simple log of topics that keep reappearing in the report. That turns a pile of papers into a plan tailored to Forest School rather than generic 11+ worksheets. Families who mark papers question-by-question — noting confidence and timing — spot careless slips versus genuine gaps much faster, which is exactly what selective schools reward on exam day. Timed practice with immediate marking is more useful than collecting unread PDFs: after each paper, list the three topics that lost the most marks and drill those before the next attempt. Keep registration and exam dates on a shared calendar so preparation intensity rises in the final six to eight weeks rather than in a last-minute scramble.

Practice builds familiarity with Forest-style timing, wording and topic coverage for London day-school entry.
