Rest - fresh for Monday“The strongest 11+ results start years earlier - with a child who has learned to enjoy learning. It's not about last-minute cramming or endless practice papers; it's about building genuine curiosity, confidence, and a love for problem-solving long before exam season arrives. When children enjoy the process, the results tend to follow naturally.”

A Parent's Guide to 11+ Prep
Steady, informed support through the exam year.
Managing exam nerves
Your calm is contagious - so is your worry.
Children pick up on parental stress faster than we realise. Keep conversations about the exam matter-of-fact, and save your own worries for a friend or partner, not your child.
Choosing the right schools
Fit matters more than prestige.
Visit open days together and ask your child what they noticed. A school where they'll thrive day-to-day beats a higher-ranked one that's a poor fit for their personality.
Reading mock exam results
One paper is a snapshot, not a verdict.
A dip after a tired week or a bad morning is normal. Look at the trend over several mocks, not any single score, and discuss what to practise rather than what went wrong.
Protecting downtime
Burnout costs more marks than an extra hour of practice gains.
Keep hobbies, sport and friendships running through the exam year. A rested, well-rounded child concentrates better than an exhausted one who's done nothing but practice papers.
Handling playground comparisons
Other children's practice schedules aren't your business.
It's easy to panic hearing what other families are doing. Focus on your own child's progress checks and pace - comparison rarely reflects the full picture anyway.
Preparing for exam day itself
Logistics calm nerves more than last-minute revision.
Know the route, the start time and what to bring well in advance. A relaxed, unhurried morning does more for performance than any extra practice paper the night before.

Real results from families in the thick of 11+ prep.
Sophie's mum
Verified parentHer mock scores went up every single month.
We started mocks in Year 5 and honestly I was nervous about the pressure. But seeing steady improvement each month gave Sophie real confidence going into September.
Oliver
Year 6 studentThe timed papers stopped feeling scary.
At first the clock freaked me out. After a few weeks of practice papers I stopped panicking and just got on with it.
Emily's dad
Verified parentWe finally knew which schools to apply for.
The tutors were honest about where she stood, not just encouraging. That honesty helped us pick realistic schools instead of guessing.
Thomas
Year 5 studentVerbal reasoning finally clicked.
The code tricks made sense once someone actually explained the pattern instead of just giving me more questions.
Lucy's mum
Verified parentNo last-minute cramming, no meltdown.
Because we started properly in Year 5, September never felt like a scramble. She walked in calm, which mattered more than any extra practice paper.
