About this programme

Eleven Plus success is not about drilling past papers. It is about teaching a child how to think clearly under pressure. Our preparation programme builds the underlying skills first, then layers on timing, technique and realistic mock experience.

What we teach

  • Verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning
  • English comprehension and creative writing
  • Mathematics problem solving and arithmetic fluency
  • Exam technique, timing and paper strategy
  • Interview and presentation confidence

How the term works

1

Baseline

A friendly assessment establishes strengths, gaps and the right group.

2

Build

Weekly small group sessions teach skills explicitly, then apply them.

3

Test

Termly mocks with detailed feedback and a written progress summary.

4

Refine

Final-term technique, timing and confidence work ahead of the exam.

What families get

  • A clear baseline assessment and termly progress reviews
  • Timed mock exams in a calm, exam-realistic setting
  • Individual targets shared with parents each half term
  • A child who can explain their thinking, not just answer
