Easter 11+ Intensive Course

COVID-19: Our statement

I would like to tell you that she has “loved” the Easter course, her word, and is very enthused by her time there. It’s a small point to an adult, but she really likes her new folder and she is very proud of it with the new books. Providing the stationery and laying out the tables neatly before the children arrived also had a very positive impact on her. Thank you!

What you can expect for your child on our 11 Plus Easter Course?

We develop pupils’ knowledge so they’re equipped to answer a broad range of challenging verbal, mathematical and non-verbal reasoning questions.

Small classes

Our Easter 11 Plus Intensive Courses are limited in size, which means that your child will have valuable one-to-one attention with their fully qualified teacher. Discover the proven benefits of small class sizes.

Breaks

To help your child consolidate their memories and continue to absorb new information, we include one 10 minute break on each day of the Easter 11 Plus Intensive Course.

The importance of sleep

As sleep plays an important role in consolidating new memories, we recommend that your child gets as much sleep as possible during the week of their Easter 11 Plus Intensive Course and any other key periods of learning. School-age children need between 9 and 12 hours of sleep a night and there are a few simple things you can do to help them get to sleep, such as turning off the TV, tablet or computer at least two hours before bedtime – the light from these can interfere with the production of the hormone melatonin, which affects sleep-wake cycles.

Feedback from parents

I am writing to inform you that Anastasis did well passing both CEM and GL exams. We are very pleased, and want to thank you for your help. In fact I found the Easter and Summer courses helpful with different books to support needs of practising.

I am pleased to say Daniel passed the 11+ with a score of 130. He really enjoyed your Easter and summer courses and we will definitely be booking for our youngest in 2017/18.

I am very pleased to write that my daughter, who attended your Easter and Summer revision courses, was successful in her Bucks 11+ exam.

Year 5 parent, Beaconsfield (2018)
Edward attended your 11 plus course (Bucks GL) in Beaconsfield over the Easter Holidays and found it very informative and fun! I would like to book him on another course during the summer holidays.

Year 5 parent, Chinnor (2019)
Your course has been invaluable in allowing her to work with her peers, realising that it is normal to find 11+ work challenging, restoring her confidence and realising that hard work and persistence will win the day. In Sara’s own words, “I enjoyed that they made the work fun so that it was interesting and you wouldn’t be tempted to doze off. I also thought my teacher, Anne, is a lovely lady. I learnt some new ways of doing things which will help me when it comes to the 11+ exams.”

Maheen enjoyed her experience on the Easter course, the positive reinforcement seemed to do the trick. She learned a lot from her experience and mentioned that she was able to get a lot of things right when it came to different subjects.

Year 5 parent, Amersham (2015)
I just thought I would let you know the Eleanor passed her 11 plus very well. She is so pleased. She thoroughly enjoyed the Easter, summer and refresher courses she did with you and gained lots from these. The antonym/synonym snap game was a particular hit and gave us a new way of learning these which otherwise was a particularly dry topic. She also loved the small classes, teachers and learnt a lot generally. Thank you very much.
