How is it taught?
Each lesson is delivered by a proven 11-plus expert teacher and follows this format:
(1) Warm up – revision activity from previous lesson
(2) Teaching key skills of the day’s objective
(3) Practice questions linked to topic
(4) Homework to consolidate learning
Throughout the sessions, we will focus on building confidence and honing exam techniques, such as working under strict time pressure and problem solving. Parents receive regular progress updates.
At the beginning and end of each 7-week block, students will sit a timed test, based on everything that will be or has been covered. Parents are given full feedback on their child’s attainment and any areas of weakness will be clearly identified so further consolidation can be done.
We also teach Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning classes to students in Years 4 and 5 during the school holidays.
