Who is the 11 Plus preparation class for?
Currently, the 11 Plus Preparation Programmes is available for students in year 3 to year 6. Children are placed in groups according to their year group and ability.
Our Year 3 course lays the foundation for students so that they are efficient at key problem solving techniques required for all four subjects (maths, English, verbal reasoning & non-verbal reasoning). Year 3 children will also be introduced to technique, timing and mock exam practice. Advanced vocabulary work and creative writing are also taught during the larger group sessions to encourage discussion and to enable children to learn from each other. This enables children to develop their writing skills to a high level within a supportive and fun environment.
We recommend children start from the latest Year 4, so as to ensure children have the time to attain the skills necessary for this kind of assessment. This course introduces harder topics whilst working on mastering the key core skills in maths and english. Children learn how to approach a variety of questions and are given plenty of opportunity to practise the techniques required for all four subjects (maths, English, verbal reasoning & non-verbal reasoning).
This 11 Plus Preparation Course prepares Year 5 pupils for their 11 Plus entrance examinations into grammar and private schools. Tuition follows the 11 Plus syllabus and covers the full range of topics. At this level, there is a larger emphasis on practice and proficiency, as well as interview techniques, as this is an essential aspect of the test for those children sitting 11+ exams for private schools.
Finally, for Year 6, children are taught how to gain maximum marks with efficient exam techniques. Practice papers, group interviews and exam questions centred around numeracy, literacy and reasoning will also be elaborated in the 4 months.
We have classes running all year. Children are welcome to join us at any time of the year as our classes are designed to cover the entire syllabus, irrespective of the start term. Ideally however, children should be enrolled as early as possible in order to get the maximum benefit from the classes. This is important because many schools now require a pre-exam before the main November/December exam, giving students three months less to prepare. An early start ensures that your child will get adequate practice before these exams, removing the panic of last minute preparations and cramming. Despite this, we have also seen significant improvement with children who attend just a week/few weeks before the exam. There are also the intensive courses in Easter, Summer, October half term and Christmas available to those who find this option most suitable.
