11 Plus
Preparation for the papers that matter locally.
Maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, vocabulary, and mocks — taught one-to-one for GL and CEM style exams, including Newstead Wood and St Olave’s.
- Maths
Arithmetic, problem-solving, algebra, and the worded questions that catch children out under timed conditions.
- English
Comprehension, grammar, punctuation, and writing that is clear enough for both GL papers and school work.
- Verbal reasoning
Vocabulary, codes, analogies, and the logic patterns used in CEM and GL verbal papers.
- Non-verbal reasoning
Shapes, sequences, and spatial puzzles — practised calmly so the paper feels familiar on the day.
- Vocabulary
A growing word bank for English and verbal reasoning, taught in context rather than as a list to cram.
- Mocks
Timed papers, exam habits, and a debrief so you know what to work on next — not just a score.
Year by year
Start early enough to stay calm.
Year 3
Foundations
Secure number sense, reading stamina, and the start of verbal reasoning — without turning Year 3 into an exam factory.
Year 4
Build the toolkit
Widen vocabulary, introduce non-verbal reasoning properly, and make problem-solving a weekly habit.
Year 5
Exam year pace
Full 11+ coverage, timed practice, and a plan that fits the schools you are actually applying to.
Year 6+
SATs, 12+ and 13+
SATs confidence, late transfer tests, and a steady hand if the first 11+ round did not go as hoped.
