A Structured 11+ Preparation Programme
– Not Just Weekly Tutoring
Many 11+ families work hard – but stay stuck.
They complete papers.
They practise regularly.
They stay busy.
But progress often stalls.
Not because the child can’t do the work —
They struggle because their preparation isn’t structured properly.
This isn’t just weekly tutoring.
We run a clear, structured programme that develops thinking, accuracy and exam technique — week by week.
The Programme
Every child follows a structured preparation pathway designed to:
- identify gaps early
- build strong foundations
- develop accurate thinking
- improve exam technique under pressure
This is not ad-hoc tutoring.
It is a system designed to produce steady, measurable progress.
How the Programme Works
1. Weekly 1-to-1 Sessions
Focused, sessions designed to move your child forward each week — not sideways.
2. Marked Practice (with correction)
Work isn’t just completed — it’s analysed, corrected and improved.
3. Parent Guidance
You see what matters, what doesn’t, and what to focus on next.
4. Long-Term Planning
A clear pathway from starting point to exam readiness.
What This Programme Builds
- strong foundations in English and maths
- clear, confident reasoning
- effective exam technique and time management
- resilience under pressure
- independent thinking
The focus is on how your child thinks — not just what they remember.
What We Tutor
The subjects are standard. The approach is not.
Your child receives focused support in the core skills tested by grammar and independent schools:
English
Reading comprehension • Spelling • Grammar • Punctuation • Vocabulary • Creative writing
Maths
Number • Fractions • Decimals • Word problems • Speed & accuracy • Logical reasoning
Verbal Reasoning (VR)
Codes • Sequences • Synonyms • Antonyms • Logic puzzles
Non-Verbal Reasoning (NVR)
Shapes • Pattern recognition • Matrices • Spatial awareness
Who This Is For
This programme is best suited to families who:
- are preparing seriously for grammar or independent school entry
- are willing to follow structured guidance consistently
- want clarity, not guesswork
It is not designed for:
- occasional or last-minute preparation
- families looking for ad-hoc help
- children who are not ready to engage consistently
Initial Assessment
Every child starts here.
We begin with a short diagnostic to understand:
- current level
- gaps in knowledge
- accuracy and speed
- confidence and approach
This allows us to place your child correctly within the programme and plan the next steps clearly.
The 11+ Is Competitive — Preparation Matters
Selective schools don’t just reward knowledge.
They are testing:
- accuracy
- reasoning
- problem-solving
- timing
- stamina
Without structured preparation, even capable children underperform.
