11 Plus Holiday Courses

Our October Courses are a vital part of your child’s 11 plus preparation. For children in year 6 this is a key moment to solidify their curriculum knowledge and start to develop the advanced skills for multi-step mathematical problem solving, teach your child the tricks needed to approach standard reasoning exercises, explore the increasingly complex language being used for the comprehension task, and develop a storybank to ensure a brilliant creative writing essay. Our course has been written by our Director of Education who was Deputy Head at one of the best Prep schools in the country with years of experience preparing children for the 11 plus. All our teachers are experienced qualified teachers with a track record of successfully preparing children for the 11 plus.

To finish off the week, we will be conducting a full dress rehearsal of an assessment morning that will mimic the kind that your child will be facing during the 11 Plus selection process. During this morning, your child will take part in a group interview, group activity and mock lesson. Meeting new teachers in a new setting and experiencing the different kinds of tasks they may face at interview.

This assessment aims to give your child the exposure to a setting that can often seem alien.
