Only when you get to secondary that some schools look at the structure and imagination more .... not at a Grammar School though, they are still strict about spelling and punctuation, plus the structure of course.

I can’t remember my 11+ back in 1948 but the book of quizzes was listing exams from the 40’s and 50’s.

It does state, “Test your knowledge with these genuine questions from the original eleven-plus.” So the questions would have come from those eras and unless they have got it all wrong, included write a short story.
