Online 1-to-1 11+ Preparation for Grammar & Independent School Entry

If you’re unsure whether your child is on track — or whether what they’re doing is enough — you’re not alone.

It isn’t always easy to know whether your child is making the right progress.

The key question isn’t whether your child is working hard.

It’s whether they’re working at the level required for selective school entry — and building that level week by week.

(Most parents begin with the Thinking Challenge — it’s the quickest way to get a clear picture.)


If you’re unsure where to start

Preparing for the 11+ can sometimes feel overwhelming.

You may already be doing some preparation — or wondering whether you’ve started at the right time.

Either way, the key questions are usually the same:

  • Is my child at the right level?
  • What should they be focusing on each week?
  • Are we doing enough — or the right things?

How The Programme Works

Your child follows a clear weekly programme designed to build confidence, knowledge and exam technique over time.

Each week combines teaching, practice and feedback, so you always know what to focus on next.

The aim is steady progress, clear direction and fewer surprises as the exam approaches.


How This helps

Many parents aren’t sure whether their child is doing enough, practising the right things, or making the progress they should.

A clear weekly structure helps answer those questions.

Over time, strengths become clearer, weaker areas can be addressed, and your child develops greater confidence with the types of questions they are likely to face.


Who This Is For

Some families start in Year 3.

Others begin in Year 4 or Year 5.

Some children have already worked with tutors.

Others are just beginning.

The important thing is understanding where your child currently stands and what they should focus on next.
