Year 5 11+ (8-month) English & Maths only

Overview

This course covers the exam requirements of grammar schools that set English and Maths only 11+ examinations by GL Assessment, CSSE (Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex) and FSCE (Future Stories Community Enterprise) for 2025.

This course covers the exams required for the following schools and consortia:

• Reading Boys, Queen Elizabeth Boys, St Olave’s, Surrey Grammars, Essex Consortium (CSSE) & Devon grammars

These schools are consistently among the top performing state schools in the country and therefore competition for places is very high.

Parents should contact schools directly for application procedures and catchment details.

This course comprises: –

English, concentrating on improving skills in comprehension and Technical English (grammar, punctuation, syntax, spelling and vocabulary

Maths, focuses on developing skills in the four rules of number, decimals, fractions, percentages, probability, ratio, mensuration, time, symmetry, shapes, perimeter, area, volume and basic algebra

In addition, some of these schools set English exams with a creative writing element.  This subject cannot be covered in the 8-month 11+ English & Maths only course due to time constraints & is also not required by all pupils.  If creative writing is a requirement, we strongly advise that pupils are also enrolled on the Advanced English Summer Course (has an additional fee).

• Advanced English Summer Course # (has an additional fee) – This 13-day course covers creative writing (story structure & character in depth) & more intensive work on comprehension & Technical English (grammar, punctuation, syntax, spelling and vocabulary). This course is important for children who are sitting a separate English exam.

It is also useful for pupils to attend an:

• Advanced Maths Summer Course # (has an additional fee) – This 7-day course focuses on complex algebra, enhanced testing, times tables up to 20 & a complete revision programme. Children who are likely to be sitting separate maths tests will benefit from attending this

These summer courses can be taken over a three-week period in the summer at our Slough tuition centre.
