Our approach consistently produces outstanding academic results, equipping our pupils with the curiosity, courage, and confidence to thrive at the region's most competitive grammar and independent senior schools.
Unrivalled Local 11+ Success
Alleyn Court is the clear academic leader in preparing children for entry into the highly competitive Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex (CSSE) 11+ exam. Our curriculum is structured to challenge and support every pupil, resulting in excellent pass rates that position us ahead of local competitors.
We are proud to share our recent 11+ pass rates, which reflect the added value of an Alleyn Court education in the Southend-on-Sea (SS0–SS9) catchment area.
