What is it?

What is the 5 Day 11+ October Course?

Our 5 Day 11+ October Course is designed to support children preparing for competitive school entrance exams by developing strong exam technique, confidence and subject knowledge. Delivered over one intensive week, pupils revisit key topics in a structured classroom setting, helping to consolidate learning and address any remaining gaps.

Throughout the course, children practise applying what they already know while being guided through more challenging questions and exam-style tasks. Teaching focuses on the areas most commonly assessed in 11+ entrance exams, including maths, creative writing, comprehension, creative comprehension, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, exam technique and interview preparation.

The course is suitable for pupils preparing for a wide range of exam boards and formats, including ISEB, GL, CEM, ATOM, school-written papers and other independent school entrance assessments. It provides a focused opportunity for pupils to refine technique, practise exam-style questions and approach the 11+ process with greater familiarity.

 

How is our course structured?

The 11+ October Half-Term Course runs over five days, from Monday to Friday, 10:00am to 3:30pm. The course is overseen by our experienced course managers, who collectively bring over 20 years of expertise in entrance exam preparation.

Class sizes are kept small, with a maximum 5:1 pupil-to-tutor ratio, ensuring focused teaching and individual support. All classwork, homework, mock exams, assessments and online practice materials are included as part of the course.

A mock exam takes place at both the beginning and end of the course. This allows us to identify each child’s strengths and areas for development, adapt teaching where needed, and group pupils appropriately throughout the week. After the course, parents receive a written report containing honest feedback and clear recommendations, keeping them fully informed of progress.

These intensive courses are perfect for making the most of your child’s October half-term. Despite the intensive tuition, the class environment and lesson structure is 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.

Parents are welcome to book per day as we have split the course by their subjects.
