A focused final preparation course for 7+ independent school entrance exams, designed to sharpen technique in creative writing, comprehension, maths, reasoning and interview skills, and help pupils approach their exams with clarity and confidence.
Our 7+ October Course is built to provide your child with all the information, 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, reasoning skills are all covered.
The October half-term course is a 5 day course running from Monday to Friday from 10am – 3.30pm. It is managed by our course instructors who possess over 20 years of experience in exam preparation collectively.
Lessons are delivered in small groups, capped at a 6:1 pupil-to-tutor ratio. Our October 7+ courses usually average only 3–5 children per group, ensuring a calm learning environment with plenty of individual support. All lesson materials are included, including classwork, homework, assessments and mock exam papers.
Mock exams takes place during the course, allowing tutors to identify each child’s strengths and areas for improvement. This helps us group pupils appropriately and adapt teaching throughout the week, ensuring every child is both supported and challenged.
Following the course, parents receive a detailed written report within 10 working days, including honest feedback, clear areas for improvement and practical next-step recommendations.
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.

“JHighly recommended. I researched a lot of tutoring options from 1-1 to group lessons and found this one to be the best for my 2 sons. One prepared for 7+ and got offered places at our both choices – Highgate and UCS. Other one is still preparing for 11+ so results are yet to be out, but progress already demonstrated in his improved performance at school. Many places are very transactional, but we felt Jane and team really cared and persoanlly involved in the journey. Many thanks!”

“I have had an outstanding experience with 11 Plus London and its dedicated team of teachers. From the moment we began, it was clear that the tutors are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping students succeed. The teaching approach is tailored to each child’s individual learning needs, ensuring they gain both confidence and mastery of the material. The resources provided are top-notch, and the progress tracking system allows us to see tangible improvements every step of the way.
What truly stands out is the dedication and support from the teachers. They are not only experts in their subject areas, but they also know how to motivate and engage students, making learning both enjoyable and effective. My child has shown significant improvement in their skills, and we are more confident than ever as we approach secondary school. I wholeheartedly recommend 11 Plus London for any parent looking to give their child the best possible preparation.”

“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.”

“My son attended the 11plus weekly weekend face-to-face Maths and English courses from Year 4—initially to fill the gaps in his school curriculum and later to prepare for secondary school entrance exams. Monique, Jane, Ibrahim, and the rest of the team were exceptional—always supportive, knowledgeable, and committed throughout the entire process.
The quality of tuition is outstanding. The structured approach, regular feedback, and tailored support made a real difference in my son’s confidence and academic progress.
A huge thank you to the entire 11plus team for your unwavering support and relentless hard work. I highly recommend these courses to anyone considering 11+ preparation in central London.”
