The Importance of Going Beyond Tuition for 11 Plus Success
As you are a month into preparing your child for the 11 Plus exam, I want to share some insights on why tuition alone may not suffice to ensure success. Today, I will be hosting a webinar at 7pm to discuss this topic in detail. I will also share links that will help you do this in real-time. Click here to register for the webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting. Why Tuition Isn’t Enough While tuition provides a solid foundation by covering the core subjects and skills tested in the 11 Plus, it often focuses on a general curriculum that may not address individual weaknesses or foster the depth of understanding needed to excel. It’s essential to supplement tuition with additional strategies to give your child the best chance of success. The Role of Extra Work Consistent practice is crucial in the journey towards passing the 11 Plus. Here are some reasons why extra practice can make the difference. - Tailored Learning: Extra practice allows for customised study plans that target your child’s specific areas of improvement. - Confidence Building: Familiarity with the exam format and types of questions can significantly boost a child’s confidence. - Skill Enhancement: Regular practice helps refine problem-solving skills and time management, both critical for the exam. Recommended Resources To support your child beyond tuition, consider utilising the following resources: - Workbooks and Practice Papers: These provide targeted exercises in verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, mathematics, and English. - Online Platforms: Websites like Bond Online, BOFA and Atom Learning offer interactive exercises and mock tests. - Study Groups: Encouraging your child to join study groups can foster peer learning and motivation. - Educational Apps: Apps like Quizlet can make learning more engaging and accessible. I’ll be covering more about these resources and how to effectively integrate them into your child’s study routine in today’s webinar.

11 plus revision- how’s it going?
How many of you have heard this before, "It's only three months away. Just get some practice papers and start revising." Here's what that actually sounds like to your child: "Sit down. Stay there. Do more worksheets." And here's what that does. Creates resistance. Tears. Resentment. And, ironically, less effective learning. Revision isn't about hoarding information. It's about building a system that your child can trust, so they actually want to engage with it. I've sat with hundreds of Year 5 parents who felt lost at this time of year. They didn't know: How to structure the time How to keep their child interested, not just compliant How to tell the difference between productive struggle and overwhelm that demoralises a child. If that's you, you're not failing. You're just missing the map. What's the one thing you're most anxious about when it comes to revision?

Your child's revision won't work unless it's built on these three things.
For Year 5 parents, those who are preparing for the tests this September. 1. A rhythm, not a grind. A structured timetable isn't boring—it's freeing. Your child knows what to expect. No negotiations. No "five more minutes." Just clarity. 2. Mixed practice, not repetition. If they do 20 maths papers, they're training for papers. They're not training for thinking. Mix up difficulty. Mix up question types. Keep the brain alert. 3. Breaks that actually work. A 5-minute walk between sessions isn't wasted time. It's when consolidation happens. When your child's brain goes from overloaded to ready. Here's the thing. Most parents know this. But knowing and implementing are different beasts.
