5 engaging, interactive, and intensive days of tuition at our Central London location this October half-term, delivered by experienced tutors, preparing children for 11+ independent and grammar school exams in Maths, English and Reasoning.
What is the 5 Day 11+ October Course?
Our 11+ October Course is built to provide your child with the confidence and techniques 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 on the most popular topics for the entrance exams: mathematics, creative writing, comprehension, creative 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 our course structured?
The October half-term course is a 5 day course running from Monday to Friday from 10am – 3.30pm each day. It is managed by our course instructors who possess over 20 years of experience in exam preparation collectively. Class size is limited, with a 7:1 student-to-tutor ratio to ensure focused and effective learning. All classwork, homework, mock exams, assessments, online practice questions/assessments are included.
A mock exam takes place at the beginning and the end of the course, so we can identify children’s weaknesses and respond accordingly by helping fill in the gaps or extending their knowledge to a greater depth. This will also allow us to group children appropriately throughout the course, enabling every child to be stretched and reach their full potential. After the course, a written report with honest feedback and recommendations is emailed to parents ensuring parents are abreast of the insights we gather during the course.
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:
Who is the course for?
This course caters for children in year 6. Whether your child has been preparing for several years or several days, we welcome all children to join the course no matter what stage of the entrance exam journey they are at.
To ensure children receive maximum benefit, children will be grouped appropriately.

“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.”

“I have known 11 plus London since 2019 (pre- pandemic). Jane and her team helped my son navigate the path to the 11plus exams. They worked on his weaknesse with a lot of patience. The team is very approachable, polite and honest especially Jane. My ds got into QE boys Barnet with a decent score.
