Helpful official links for the Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex (CSSE) 11+ process.
The Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex (CSSE) organises the 11+ entrance test for a group of selective (grammar) schools in Essex. Many families in the Leigh-on-Sea and Southend area prepare for CSSE tests.
We provide targeted 1:1 tutoring and 11+ camps to help Year 4 and Year 5 children prepare effectively. Below are the most useful official links.
