Y5 11+ Week Commencing 3rd November 2025 (week 2 of 6)
Happy Monday!
We hope you had a lovely half-term and a well-deserved rest.
We’ve just begun our second block of the term and are already seeing fantastic progress from the children. This year has been our best yet for 11+ results — with the majority of pupils passing and many achieving top scores. This success isn’t the result of over-tutoring, but rather the outcome of steady practice, regular homework, and consistent attendance at our focused sessions, workshops, and mock tests.
We’ve also made some exciting improvements. With the addition of an exam writer to our team, we can now offer even more targeted classes — including upcoming spatial reasoning sessions — along with exclusive mock tests not available for external purchase. I’m also developing new learning resources, such as vocabulary and comprehension eBooks, to provide even greater support for the children.

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead — and a quick reminder that sessions run Monday to Saturday during term time.

Our Mathematical Reasoning Focus Lessons offer a deep dive into the world of maths, going far beyond what your child will encounter in standard classroom lessons. Each session hones in on specific aspects of the 11+ curriculum, covering topics such as ratio, proportion, algebra, BODMAS, volume, averages, and other challenging mathematical problems that children rarely see in school.
These lessons are carefully structured so that each week builds on the last, using papers designed to stretch thinking, develop problem-solving skills, and boost confidence. Unlike our regular weekly maths sessions, these classes are tailored to challenge and engage, ensuring your child not only understands the concepts but also applies them with assurance and flair.
Give your child the chance to think differently, solve creatively, and thrive in maths. Book a session today and watch their confidence soar!
