11+ Preparation

11 + Grammar School Entrance Exams


WHAT IS THE 11+ EXAM?
The 11+ Exam is a competitive entrance exam required for admission to selective independent and grammar schools in the UK. The exam is named after the age of the child in the year they start at the school, and many of these exams are highly selective.

In recent years, the 11+ Exam has undergone significant changes to make it "tutor-proof." However, it is important to note that while 75% of the exam is based on the national curriculum, the remaining 25% may not be. Additionally, schools are unable to teach specifically towards the exam, creating a gap in knowledge and practice.

To bridge this gap, our team of expert 11+ exam tutors provide comprehensive tutoring services to prepare students for success on the exam.

WHAT WE COVER IN 11+ EXAM TUITION?
Our 11+ Exam tutoring program covers Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning (CEM/GL Assessment) to fully prepare Year 3 (Foundation), Year 4 (Intermediate), and Year 5 (Advanced) students for the 11+ and independent school exams.

Students will learn topics such as:

- English: Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar (SPAG), Vocabulary, Word Types, Writing & Comprehension
- Maths: Numerical Reasoning, Numbers & Place Value, Addition & Subtraction, Multiplication & Division, Fractions, Percentages, Units & Measures, Shapes & Space

Our bespoke Scheme of Works (SOW) is based on the CEM and GL Assessment exam boards, ensuring that our lessons prepare students for any 11+ exam.

All this work builds towards the end of Year 6 when students take their KS2 SATs (Standard Attainment Tests).
