For schools preparing pupils for the CSSE 11+

Run 11+ comprehension prep for your whole year group

One consistent programme for every pupil: monthly test times, focused skills tests, full CSSE mock papers and instant marking — with a single dashboard showing your staff exactly who needs what.

Built for the CSSE comprehension paper. No marking load for your teachers.

The problem

In most schools, 11+ comprehension prep is uneven

Not because staff aren't trying — because comprehension is the hardest part of the paper to set, mark and track at scale.

  • Every class prepares differently. Photocopied worksheets, different texts, different expectations — so pupils in the same year group get very different preparation.
  • Marking comprehension is slow. A single set of long-answer comprehension papers can take a teacher an evening to mark, and the feedback often arrives too late to matter.
  • Standards drift between markers. Two teachers can award different marks for the same answer, so pupils never learn what a full-mark answer actually looks like.
  • Nobody can see who is behind. Without shared data, it's guesswork deciding which pupils need help and which skill to teach next.

What your school gets

One programme, the same standard for every pupil

Everything below is in the platform today — your staff set the test times, the platform does the rest.

Monthly whole-cohort test times

Set a test for the whole year group and every pupil sits the same paper under the same timing. You get one comparable set of results each month, not a pile of loose worksheets.

A library of comprehension skills tests

Short, focused tests across the six comprehension skills the CSSE paper rewards: retrieval, vocabulary, inference, language and effect, summary and personal response. Each one teaches a consistent way to answer that question type.

Full CSSE mock papers

Complete practice papers written in the style of the CSSE comprehension paper, with proper mark allocations and timing — so exam day holds no surprises.

Consistent, instant marking

Every answer is marked against the same mark scheme within seconds, with per-question feedback and a model answer split to show where each mark comes from. No teacher marking load.

The school dashboard

See your cohort at a glance

Your staff sign in to one dashboard that answers the questions leaders actually ask: who is doing the work, who is behind, and what should we teach next?

  • Class-wide strengths and gaps across the six comprehension skills
  • Any pupil's full test history, and every marked paper question by question
  • Search and filter to find a pupil or a group quickly

How it works in a school

From first call to first results in days

1

Book a demo

Fifteen minutes. We show you the pupil experience, a marked paper and the school dashboard using real tests.

2

We set up your school

We create your school account, add your staff as school admins and set your number of pupil places.

3

Invite your pupils by email

Add pupils one at a time or a whole class at once. Each child sets their own password from their invite — nothing for your IT team to install.

4

Set tests and watch the dashboard

Pupils sit tests at school or at home. You see who has taken what, their scores, and which comprehension skills the cohort is strong or weak in.

Frequently asked

Questions from school leaders

What is 11+ Panda for schools?

11+ Panda for schools is a comprehension practice platform for the CSSE 11+. Your school gets pupil accounts, a library of skills tests and full CSSE mock papers, instant AI marking against a fixed mark scheme, and a dashboard showing every pupil's progress and the cohort's skill strengths and gaps.

Which year groups is it for?

It is designed for Year 5 pupils preparing to sit the CSSE 11+ in Year 6, and works well for confident Year 4 readers starting early. Year 6 groups use it for mock papers and revision.

How do pupils log in?

You invite each pupil by email — one at a time or a whole class at once. The pupil follows the link in the invite and sets their own password. There is nothing to install and no open sign-up, so only pupils you invite can join your school.

Do teachers have to mark anything?

No. Every answer is marked automatically within seconds against the same mark scheme, with written feedback and a model answer for the pupil. Teachers read the results rather than producing them.

How does the marking stay consistent?

Each question has a fixed mark scheme and a required answer shape for its skill, and every answer is marked against those rules with a moderation step. That means the same answer earns the same mark whichever pupil wrote it and whenever it was submitted.

Can we run it alongside our own 11+ scheme?

Yes. Most schools use 11+ Panda for comprehension practice and assessment data and keep their own teaching for the rest of the paper. You choose when tests are set, so it fits around your timetable.

Is pupil data kept safe?

Pupil accounts are only created from a school invite, each pupil sees only their own work, and school staff see only pupils at their own school. We ask for a first name and email address, not sensitive personal data.

What does 11+ Panda cost for a school?

School pricing depends on how many pupils you want to include, so we quote per school. Tell us your cohort size in the enquiry form and we will send you a quote.

How long does setup take?

Usually the same day. Once we have your school name and staff email addresses, your account and pupil places are ready, and inviting a class takes a couple of minutes.
