This section provides important information and documentation relating to the administration of the Common Entrance 11+ examinations. Schools should read the Regulations and Instructions to Invigilators carefully and ensure that they are followed.
Examination regulations
Support and guidance for the administration of CE & CASE exams is available through our Support Portal.
Heads are asked to complete a declaration form to confirm that all the examination procedures have been followed. A signed copy of this form is to be sent to the relevant senior school(s) at the end of the examination period.
Centre declaration form
A Head’s report is required for each candidate. It should be sent to the senior school at least two weeks before the first day of the relevant examination session. The ISEB Head’s Report Form is below. Some schools may prefer to use the ICAS Common Transfer Form.

ISEB has reviewed all access arrangements. Please refer to document ‘Access Arrangements for CE’ for full guidance.
Candidates whose first language is not English are allowed to use English to first language dictionaries. They are also allowed up to 10% extra time if they have studied in the medium of English for fewer than three years. This must be agreed in advance with the candidate’s first-choice senior school.
