What is the 7 Plus Preparation Programme?

Competition for Year 7 places at good secondary schools is becoming more and more competitive, so it may be a good option to get in early by applying for a prep school. This may give your child a greater chance of admission for the main school when the time comes around.

As with 11-Plus preparation, we aim to get children started as early as possible, to give them the greatest chance of passing. For this reason, admission to these courses start from Year 1, with preparation following a structured program designed to develop and increase the skill-sets and experience needed for such assessments.

Our aim is to provide knowledge and instruction in all topics and areas, as well as exam practice and interview experience. Bear in mind however, many children will not be able to achieve the high results required for admission (depending on how soon preparation begins, the natural abilities of the child, and the increasing levels of competition) and so we carry out ongoing assessment in order to let you know as soon as possible how likely it is for your child to pass and under which circumstances success will be most likely. We operate a strict policy whereby we only continue tuition for children who are suitable in terms of ability, potential and personality. We provide feedback on these issues and will be in a position to comment on this after 4-8 weeks of instruction (depending on the level and age of child). We prepare for entrance examinations at most schools in London and the surrounding counties, so please specify your choices when completing the online registration form.

Each week we teach different topics from the 7 Plus test, according to our structured program and the 7 Plus syllabus. Students are instructed in techniques to show them how to answer questions in the correct way, giving them the means to handle any new type of problem as they progress. Sample 7 Plus questions are used for practice and to check learning, with weekly homework based on what has been covered in class. Parents can monitor progress easily and will know in advance the topics being taught each week.

 

How is the course delivered?

Students receive 2.5  hour lessons every Saturday, and the sessions are split in half for Maths and English. Classes are limited in size, with a 7:1 student-to-tutor ratio to ensure focused and effective learning. Managing tutors are very competent and possess over 10 years of entrance exam experience. All classwork, homework, mock exams, assessments, online practice questions/assessments are included.

As a summary, students receive:

    • Homework following the 7+ syllabus
    • 1.25 hours of Maths face-to-face lesson per week in small groups
    • 1.25 hours of English face-to-face lesson per week in small groups
    • Regular feedback on your child’s progress and recommendations from our expert course leader
    • Mock tests every 6-6 weeks

Who is it for?

Who is the 7 Plus preparation class for?

Currently, the 7 Plus Preparation Programmes is available in our Central London location on Saturdays for students in year 1 to year 2. Children are placed in groups according to their year group and ability.

Our Year 1 course lays the foundation for all four subjects (maths, english, verbal reasoning and non verbal reasoning). Children will also be introduced to technique, timing and mock exam practice.

In Year 2, children will focus on perfecting their knowledge for the upcoming 7+ exams. 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 these vital months before the 7+ entrance exams.

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 students to complete the exam in November/December instead of January. 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 available to those who find this option most suitable.

My friend recommended this centre to us, because I’m afraid to trying any place without recommendations, sometimes just waste money and time. But we got the right place to study. Really appreciate all the teachers, its group lessons but the teachers treat everyone children likes individual lessons, they helped each student to correct the home work, and the topics cover everything and give more work which your child the weak topic.
Too much wants to tell, they caring every children leaning in the centre and really helps a lot. And really surprising is my child love there and never complain about study that means she really enjoys study there. This is the happiest things we thought about it.
Hope this message could help the parents and children find the right place to learn.”

JING (Verified on Google)

“Highly 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!”
