Use the Summer to Pull Ahead
Intensive Preparation When It Matters Most
The summer holiday before the 11 Plus exam is the most important revision window of the entire preparation journey. Our Summer Revision Programme is designed to make every day count — structured, focused, and led by experienced tutors who know exactly what the exam requires.
Each morning session covers all four 11 Plus subjects in rotation, with daily past paper practice and marked written feedback so children can see exactly where they are improving.
- Suitable for Year 5 completing and Year 6 starting
- GL Assessment and CEM format papers covered
- Progress report given at the end of each week
- Based in Ilford — convenient for Redbridge and East London families
What's Covered Each Day
All four 11 Plus subjects covered in daily rotation — building on existing knowledge and filling gaps under exam conditions.
Maths
Number, fractions, decimals, percentages, geometry, and data. Targeted at the exact topics most commonly tested in both GL Assessment and CEM formats.
English
Reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation. Timed exercises and close reading practice matched to real 11 Plus paper styles.
Verbal Reasoning
All VR question types covered systematically — word codes, analogies, odd one out, sequences, and cloze exercises — with speed-building drills.
Non-Verbal Reasoning
Pattern series, matrices, 3D rotation, and spatial reasoning. Progressive difficulty so children build speed and accuracy before the exam.
Past Paper Practice
Daily timed past papers in real exam conditions. Full marking, detailed written feedback, and a session to review common errors together.
Exam Technique
Time management strategies, question spotting, educated guessing, and paper management — all the skills that make the difference on exam day.

What Sets Our Summer Programme Apart
Maximum 6 Per Group
The smallest group sizes we offer — every child receives more teacher time and more targeted feedback than in a typical class.
Daily Timed Practice
Children sit timed papers every day in realistic conditions. By the end of the programme they are fully comfortable with exam pressure.
Marked Feedback Daily
Every paper is marked and reviewed. Children learn from their mistakes each day — not weeks later when the moment has passed.
All Four Subjects
Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning — all covered in every week so no subject gets neglected heading into the exam.
Weekly Progress Reports
Parents receive a written summary at the end of each week showing performance by subject and areas to focus on over the weekend.
Experienced Tutors
All sessions are led by tutors with proven 11 Plus teaching experience — not gap-year students or unqualified assistants.
How We Structure the Summer
Diagnostic Assessment First
Every child joining the summer programme starts with a short diagnostic assessment. This allows tutors to identify gaps and adjust lesson emphasis from day one — not halfway through the block.
Structured Daily Sessions
Each 3-hour morning is divided into subject blocks with short breaks. The first hour focuses on a core subject, the second on exam technique, and the third on past paper practice and review.
Daily Feedback Loop
Papers are marked that day. Tutors discuss errors with children before they go home — reinforcing learning while it is fresh. Parents can collect a summary sheet at pick-up.
End-of-Block Report
At the end of the block, every family receives a written report covering performance by subject, improvement over the programme, and recommended focus areas before exam day.
