Y4 11+ Week Commencing 19th January 2026 (week 5 of 6)
Welcome back to another week!
We hope you all had a lovely weekend. We’re very relieved that the snow initially forecast didn’t arrive, although it does look like rain is here for the foreseeable future!
A few important reminders for the week ahead:
Parking: Please remember that parking is not permitted on site. The available spaces are allocated to other organisations that also use the facility, and we appreciate your cooperation with this.
Attendance: Classes run Monday through Saturday. If you are unable to attend a session, please let us know as soon as possible. We will always do our best to reschedule your child into an alternative session within the same week where availability allows.
As mentioned last week, we are now just over 18 months away from the test (and time will fly). Over the coming weeks, we will be gradually increasing expectations for homework and making classwork a little more challenging (small steps so it feels very manageable). This is to ensure children continue to make steady progress and feel well prepared as we move closer to the exam.
Our current recommendation is to attend as many additional sessions as possible. These sessions help children to embed their understanding, increase pace and build confidence, while also easing some of the pressure at home.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support. We look forward to a positive and productive term ahead.
Warm regards,
Chris, Nic and the team

Maths focus sessions will spend time covering a variety of aspects of the 11+ including fractions, decimals, percentages, statistics and algebra. The 11 Plus maths exam aims to identify higher ability in children, so good preparation is essential. We focus on mental arithmetic, exam technique and speed fluency because we understand the biggest challenge can be tackling exam questions under timed conditions.
Cost: £60.00 | Duration: 1 hour (x 3 sessions)
