What is the 10 Plus Preparation Programme?
Our 10+ Preparation Programme provides knowledge and instruction in all topics and areas including maths, creative writing, comprehension, non verbal reasoning, verbal reasoning, exam practice and interview experience. We specialise in preparing children for entrance exams to top private and grammar schools in London and surrounding counties, with a proven track record of success. Over 800 children over the past 12 years have secured places at prestigious schools such as City of London, Whitgift, Kingston Grammar, Emanuel School and many more.
Bear in mind, many children will not be able to achieve the high results required for admission (depending on how soon preparation begins, the natural abilities of the child, and the increasing levels of competition) and so we carry out ongoing assessment in order to let you know as soon as possible how likely it is for your child to pass and under which circumstances success will be most likely. We operate a strict policy whereby we only continue tuition for children who are suitable in terms of ability, potential and personality. We provide feedback on these issues and will be in a position to comment on this after 4-8 weeks of instruction (depending on the level and age of child).
Despite our class’ serious intent, we believe children should be inspired and encouraged to enjoy learning. This is why our class environment and lesson structures are built to be fun and engaging. This means that your child will be happy to learn, and more often than not, leave with a smile on their face and some new friends.
