What is it?

What is the 5 Day 10+ October Course?

Our 10+ October Course is built to provide your child with the techniques and confidence required to be a successful candidate for your chosen schools’ entrance exams. Over the week, your child will revise and harness their skills in a class environment, filling in any remaining gaps in knowledge and bringing their existing knowledge to a more advanced level.

The course is based upon the most popular topics for the entrance exams: mathematics, creative writing, comprehension, exam technique, interview practice, and reasoning skills – ideal for children preparing for ISEB, Atom, CEM, GL, school-written papers and other entrance exam formats.

 

How is the course structured?

The 10+ 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 7:1 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.

Here are some example topics of what the October half-term course covers:

 

  • Algebra (maths)
  • FDP and ratios(maths)
  • Word problems and puzzles (maths)
  • Picking vocabulary and its effects (creative writing and verbal reasoning)
  • Writing to gain maximum marks (creative writing)
  • Evidence and explanations (comprehension)
  • Spelling, punctuation and grammar revision (English)
  • Vocabulary (English and verbal-reasoning)
  • Logical deduction skills (Verbal reasoning)
  • Spatial awareness (Non-verbal reasoning and maths)
  • Identifying similarities between shapes and words (verbal and non-verbal reasoning)
  • Mathematical concepts such as symmetry, rotation and reflection (maths and non-verbal reasoning)
  • Interview skills and exam technique

 

Who is it for?

Who is the course for?

The 10 October Half Term Course is designed for Year 5 students preparing for 10+ independent school entrance exams, as well as Year 5 students gearing up for 11+ independent and grammar school exams. Whether your child has been preparing for years or is just starting their journey, this course welcomes all students, regardless of their current stage in the process.

To ensure children receive maximum benefit, children will be grouped according to ability and year group. If your child is in Year 4 and currently preparing for the 10+ exams, we recommend your child enrols in our 9+ Courses.

We have personally helped students gain acceptance into schools such as:

  • Whitgift

Testimonials

“Jane and Andrew are very responsible and extremely helpful. Their tutoring is very effective and personalized. We sincerely appreciate their help. My son got offers from top London schools including CLS. Highly recommended!”

SAMUEL DU (verified on Google)

“My child attended the October half term camp. This was probably the most valuable investment I made in my my child’s 11+ journey. The feedback report I received was far superior to any feedback that I received from any other source (including 1:1 tutors from another company) and helped me focus on the right areas to help my child with the 11+ exam.”

FAIZA (Verified on Google)

We are very happy with Jane and Andrew who are both professional and enthusiastic. My DS has passed all paper exams and were invited for interviews by all applied schools including SPB and CLS.

Y ZHAO (Verified on Google)

“Great for preparing children for entrance exams. I would highly recommend Jane and her team for finding your child’s strengths and weakness!”

SABENA (Verified on Trustpilot)

“We have done a variety of courses and mock tests, leading up to our child’s 11+ exams. All were great help with knowing what areas we needed to work on and also helped our son feel relaxed in his actual exams, and not fretting about his interviews. The feedback reports were really informative and then we could discuss things further with Jane and her team, so we really got great assistance.”
