Year 5 Tutoring

11+ Prep Course for Year 5 pupils 2026/7

Pass rate 2025: 92%!

We have a fantastic curriculum for the GL and Colyton exams. You will sit your 11+ in September of year 6.

START DATE: 28th September 2026

HOW TO BOOK: please register at the top then choose from the list in the system

Time: One hour per week, term time only. The hour is 60 minutes+ of tutoring. We do not use any part of the hour as ‘turn around’ time. There will be optional holiday classes. We’ll inform you nearer the time. 

Group size: 5 pupils

Cost: £25 per hour. Invoices half termly. 

Resources: We provide all resources and work books. There are extra resources and online tests available in Parent Zone.

Curriculum: We cover absolutely ALL topics that are likely to appear in the 11+. We shall cover all aspects of English and Maths and teach pupils how to tackle, and be confident in, different writing genres. Our curriculum is very thorough and pupils progress past Year 6 in most topics.

Tutors: All tutors are graduates and/or teachers. We teach the same curriculum and share all skills and resources. All are DBS checked.

Teaching: We teach for the full hour. It’s fast-moving and engaging. We set home work based on the topics we’ve taught. It should not become burdensome.

Feedback: Your tutor will be happy to chat or email about progress. We shall tell you, and give advice, if we think your child is struggling. 

11+ Mock Exams: These run on Saturdays from March 2027. You opt in to whatever suits you nearer the time. There are also Online Mocks.

For the last 3 years our pass rate has been 92% which is amazing as we do not select pupils on ability!

I’m happy to chat on the phone but please avoid after school tutoring times! If you know which group you want let me know ASAP as groups fill quickly.

11 + Lessons

We teach in small groups of 5. This enables the children to

  • interact
  • share ideas and
  • formulate individual approaches to work

It also allows for some healthy competition!

We teach the skills and techniques needed, but, over the months, we encourage each child to develop his or her own approach. This will help with lifelong learning well after the 11+ is a distant memory.

We find that this increases pupils’ confidence and motivation and they really enjoy seeing themselves make progress every week.

Keeping the size of the group small, also allows for individual attention when needed, helping less confident children as well as those who may be gifted and talented. 

We aim for each child to reach his or her full potential over the year.


'Some magical tutoring happens in setting of three or four pupils - and it can save you a bundle in fees. It won't suit everyone, but it can work well for grammar school exams and other school entrance tests.'
