Eleven Plus Grammar & Independent School Half-Term Workshops
Is your child preparing for grammar or independent school entrance tests?
Is your child currently in year 4 or year 5 and preparing for their grammar school entrance exams in year 6?
Or maybe they are already in year 6 having recently sat their grammar school tests and you want to keep them focused because they will be sitting independent school tests in the next few months.
How much could their results be improved if they received additional guidance on how to interpret and answer their test questions better?
Whatever the government or your local authority or the schools themselves suggest, knowing how to quickly interpret and answer any type of exam question is a coachable skill – and these workshops will help them to strengthen that skill in each subject type.
Which school types would this help to prepare for?
Grammar and independent schools set entrance exams in order to determine which candidates will be deemed to ‘pass’ or to receive an offer of a place.
If your target school(s) fall in the list below then your child will benefit from attending these workshops:
- Grammar schools
- Bilateral schools or partially selective schools
- Private schools, independent schools and public schools, including scholarship entrance exams
Each workshop will focus on one of the four subject areas of maths, English, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. This means you can select just those relevant to your child’s needs.
Who is this for?
These are ‘open-house’ workshops and therefore whether your child’s just started on their eleven-plus journey, or are a ‘seasoned professional’ we’re sure they will gain from attending.
In addition, whether a newbie, having been home-tutored or attending tutoring sessions, these workshops will still augment their studies.
Contact us if you’d like to discuss suitability for your child.
Early bird pricing is available – ask for details.
