11+ Preparation

I am able to draw upon a vast range of resources to put together a personalised and rigorous 11+ study programme, which will continually challenge and engage your child.

Your child will practise with regular mock 11+ exams to assess their progress and thoroughly address any areas of weakness.

I will also address fundamental examination techniques, such as time management, which is especially important given the strict time restraints found within the 11+ examination.

I will be available to offer you, the parents, plain and simple support, advice and guidance during the entire process in order that, working as a team, we can provide your child with the best possible opportunities to build a bright future for themselves.

The Four Key Components of the 11+ Exam

  • Verbal Reasoning (English) – Your child will be required to demonstrate a wide understanding of complex vocabulary and be able to use this correctly.

  • Comprehension (English) – Your child will read an extended text and answer questions which will require knowledge retrieval, but will also test the child on inference and require them to demonstrate attention to detail.

  • Problem Solving (Maths) – Along with some more simple maths calculations, your child will have to solve a wide range of problems, often involving concepts not generally taught within the National Curriculum until later in Year 6, such as ratio and proportion.

  • Non-Verbal Reasoning (Maths) – This section of the exam will test your child on their diagrammatic visual reasoning, predominantly with both 2D and 3D shapes, but will also include such concepts as code breaking.
