Teaching Methodology – How sessions are run
Sessions are demanding in pace and expectation. Children work through timed practice papers, have work marked and discussed in detail, and are taught to analyse errors specifically. Preparation is calibrated to each child’s target schools throughout. Holiday Sunday mock examinations give children full exam conditions in advance of their actual assessments.
How to join

Exam Details
What 11+ entrance examinations involve
London’s most competitive 11+ assessments include Maths, English comprehension, written work and verbal or non-verbal reasoning. Some schools use a pre-test in the autumn of Year 6 followed by a main assessment in spring. Many include an interview or group exercise. Preparation that does not include full timed practice under realistic conditions is unlikely to be sufficient at this level.
What separates strong candidates at 11+
Most candidates at this level are able. What separates the strongest is the quality of their mathematical reasoning, the precision of their written expression, and the confidence they bring to an interview. Children who have worked through timed assessments under proper conditions consistently perform better than those who have prepared in theory only.
