Y4 11+ Week Commencing 15th December 2025 (week 2 of 6)
Good afternoon,
I hope you had a restful weekend! With Christmas quickly approaching, this is our last week of classes before the break. Please note that classes still run on Saturday.
If your child has any upcoming events that mean they cannot attend their usual session this week, please let us know as early as possible. We will do our best to accommodate them in a different session. However, with many of our sessions already full, changes depend on available physical space, not adult-to-child ratios.
Important: Please do not just turn up without speaking to Nic or myself first. Our sessions are very busy, and the more notice you provide, the more likely we can support a session change.
A quick reminder: classes run Monday through Saturday.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Each week targets a different set of question types—coding, sequences, vocabulary, and analogies—enabling pupils to develop mastery across all areas of the exam. With focused practice and expert guidance, your child will steadily build the skills needed to approach even the most challenging questions with confidence and ease.
