11 Plus Exam Preparation Saturday Club

We prepare Year 5 pupils for their 11-plus English entrance examinations into secondary grammar and independent schools. Our 11-plus English exam preparation course is an intensive course on comprehension and creative writing led by highly professional and experienced educators. With feedback given not only on writing but also time-management, analytical and creative thinking skills, participants will come away from these sessions with a range of techniques to apply to learning beyond the exam itself. At the end of the course, you will receive a professional report written by our academic team.

For the first 10 weeks of an 18-month investment in your child’s 11+ English Exam preparation, we will be developing crucial fundamental skills for reading and writing that will serve as the solid foundation to build upon long-term. We will be teaching your child how to analyse text to the 11+ standard, to respond effectively to questions about said texts, and to be confident in discussing character and atmosphere in an academic way. We will also be working on key, creative composition skills such as utilising descriptive language and structure in story-writing. Finally, we will introduce your child to more advanced forms of technical English applicable to 11+ examinations, all the while building their vocabulary and encouraging private reading at home. The educational process for 11+ English begins here, and it is in these foundations that we will invest in successful candidates for the top schools in London long-term.

Students will be provided with entirely original material to work with; professionally crafted by our Academic Team. The course leader will guide all students through an interactive workshop every week as students develop these fundamentals; with different skills being the focus of each week. After the 10 weeks have concluded, all of our students with sitting their first End of Term Assessment, which will serve as the first point of exam-based monitoring in the course. Furthermore, we will be monitoring the progress of all students throughout the first term very closely, and as always, we take the needs of the individual into consideration, as well as the group.

Additionally, parents will be offered one, 30-minute consultation meeting with our Academic team (inclusive of the booking) to discuss the progress of your child.
