Social distancing concerns over planned 11-plus tests

GRAMMAR schools must enforce strict social distancing of pupils if they insist on running entrance exams this winter, it has been urged.

The organisations that operate the unregulated system of academic selection are coming under increased pressure to call off their assessments.

Children will sit papers over four consecutive Saturdays in November and December – two weeks later than originally planned.

Several groups and individuals have said the exams should not proceed.
