Small habits, big difference
A Parent's Guide to Pre 11+ Prep
Practical, no-nonsense support for the early years, with simple habits that build confidence every day.
Keeping it pressure-free
There's no exam yet — let it stay that way.
At this age the goal is building a habit, not preparing for a test. If a session feels like a battle, stop and try again tomorrow rather than pushing through.
Building a routine
Ten minutes a day beats an hour on Sunday.
Short, consistent sessions — four or five times a week — build the study habit gently. Consistency matters far more than duration at this stage.
Thinking ahead to Year 5
No need to decide anything yet.
Years 3–4 are about building foundations, not choosing schools. The half-termly progress checks will help you judge when your child is ready to step up to full 11+ prep.
Spotting when to step in
Know the difference between a wobble and a gap.
A quiet week is normal. But if your child avoids the same type of activity again and again, a little extra one-on-one attention on that specific skill helps more than more practice.
Keeping it fun
Praise curiosity, not just correct answers.
Celebrate effort, questions, and small wins — a new word learned, a game beaten. At this age, enjoying learning matters more than getting everything right.
Protecting playtime
Rest and play are part of learning too.
Ten focused minutes a day is enough. Resist the urge to add more — plenty of unstructured play and rest is what makes young children absorb and retain more.

Success Stories
Real results from families who started early with us.
Olivia's mum
Verified parentTen minutes a day changed everything.
We started in Year 3 with just ten minutes a day. By the time full 11+ prep began in Year 5, Olivia already had the study habit — no fighting, no stress.
George
Year 4 studentThe games made it feel like playing, not homework.
I didn't even realise I was practising maths — I just wanted to beat my own score in the times-table game.
James's dad
Verified parentNo pressure, just steady progress.
There were no tests, no timers, nothing scary. Just a weekly worksheet and a few videos. But looking back over six months, the progress was obvious.
Harry
Year 3 studentMy favourite part is the story videos.
I watch one every week and I always learn new words without trying.
Charlotte's mum
Verified parentWe knew exactly when she was ready for Year 5 prep.
The progress checks made the decision easy — no guessing whether she was ready to step up to full 11+ practice.
