Eleven Plus Workshops.
Focused Practice. Expert Guidance. Greater Confidence.
Our 11+ Workshops are carefully designed by experienced 11+ authors and specialist teachers, combining expert knowledge of the GL 11+ exam with practical, focused preparation.
Held during school holidays, our workshops give children dedicated time away from the demands of the school week to concentrate on developing their skills, strengthening their understanding and building confidence in a supportive learning environment.
Comprehensive 11+ Preparation
Each workshop lasts two hours and covers all four key areas of the 11+ exam:
Maths
English
Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning
Spatial Reasoning
Children work through a wide range of GL-style and test-style questions, helping them become familiar with the types of questions they may encounter, as well as the format, structure and demands of the examination.
Our sessions are designed to be both challenging and encouraging, allowing children to learn from their mistakes, develop effective techniques and gradually become more confident when working under exam conditions.
Why Are Our Workshops So Valuable?
As the 11+ approaches, simply knowing the content is not enough. Children also need to understand how to approach questions efficiently, manage their time and remain calm and focused under pressure.
Develop Effective Exam Strategies
Children are introduced to practical techniques for approaching different question types. Learning how to identify the most efficient method can help reduce errors and improve accuracy.
Build Time-Management Skills
Timed practice helps children understand how to pace themselves throughout an exam. Regular exposure to timed questions also helps develop the concentration and stamina needed to work effectively for the duration of the test.
Identify Strengths & Areas for Development
Our experienced teachers observe how children approach different types of questions and help them recognise areas where further practice may be beneficial. This allows preparation to become more focused and purposeful.
Learn from Mistakes
Making mistakes is an important part of learning. Children are encouraged to understand why an answer was incorrect and how to approach a similar question more effectively next time.
Build Confidence
Regular practice in a positive and supportive environment can help children feel more comfortable with the demands of the 11+ exam. Familiarity with the question styles and exam conditions can help reduce uncertainty and build self-belief.
Particularly Valuable in the Run-Up to the 11+
Our holiday workshops are especially beneficial in the weeks and months leading up to the 11+ examination. They provide an opportunity for children to consolidate what they have learned, practise under realistic conditions and focus on the specific skills required to perform effectively on test day.
Rather than simply completing more questions, our workshops focus on helping children develop the knowledge, techniques, timing and confidence needed to approach the examination in a calm and structured way.
Give Your Child Focused 11+ Preparation
Our workshops are an important part of a well-rounded 11+ preparation programme, complementing regular study and practice at home or with a tutor.
By attending, children can develop practical exam techniques, strengthen key skills and gain valuable experience of working through test-style questions under timed conditions — all within an encouraging and focused learning environment.
Places are limited to ensure children receive appropriate guidance and support.
