Structured 11+ preparation for Years 4 to 6, built around the specific exams your child will sit rather than a generic syllabus.
Book a free intro callSuper-selective grammar schools don't share one exam. Tiffin tests English and Maths in its own format; Henrietta Barnett runs two stages; the Sutton schools use the SET; the Slough consortium leans CEM-style, mixing verbal reasoning into timed batteries. Preparing "for the 11+" in general is how capable children end up surprised in the hall.
At The Learnery, the target schools are agreed first. The programme is then built backwards from those papers: the question types, the timings, the mark schemes, and the stamina each format demands.
These are the super-selectives we know inside out: Tiffin Girls' and Henrietta Barnett for girls, Tiffin Boys' and Wilson's for boys. But the method travels; we prepare children for any grammar school in the country, whatever the format, and lessons run in person or as live online sessions.
Comprehension at exam pace, vocabulary in depth, and sustained work on creative writing, the paper that decides places at the most selective schools.
the word-hungry win hereFull curriculum coverage plus the harder ground: multi-step worded problems, taught through a method that turns long questions into short calm ones.
show your working!Verbal and non-verbal reasoning taught as thinking skills, not tricks, so they hold up whichever question style appears on the day.
patterns, not luckThe programme runs across the school year in three phases, with English, Maths and reasoning taught in parallel rather than in blocks, so nothing goes rusty while something else is being learned.
Secure the core: number fluency, reading depth, sentence craft, and the reasoning basics everything later is built on.
Exam-style questions in growing volume, technique for each target school's format, and writing marked against real criteria.
Timed papers in exam conditions, reviewed one-to-one, so the real day feels like something your child has already done many times.
The intro call is where the plan starts: your child's current level, the target schools, and an honest view on the road between the two.
