FAQ's

📚 At what age should children start preparing for the 11+?

Year 4 is widely considered the ideal starting point for 11 Plus tutoring, giving children two full years to prepare.

  • Year 3 (age 7-8): Good for laying foundations through enjoyable learning activities.
  • Year 4 (age 8-9): The sweet spot for most children to start dedicated 11 Plus work.
  • Year 5 (age 9-10): Intensive practice focusing on exam technique, speed, and accuracy under timed conditions.

The right timing depends on your child's ability, local competition for grammar school places, and their emotional readiness.
