11+ Summer Intensive Course (HAMPSTEAD location)

What is the 5 Day 11 Plus Summer Course?

The Summer Intensive Course is specifically designed to improve your child’s performance in the run-up to their 11 Plus entrance examinations. It is suitable for pupils who have started preparation later and need to cover key areas of the curriculum in a short period of time, as well as for those who have been preparing throughout the year and wish to refine their skills and achieve higher marks.

Over the long summer break, it is common for children’s academic progress to stall. This course helps pupils revisit the most frequently examined topics, address any remaining gaps in knowledge, and strengthen their understanding of previously learned material.

The course focuses on the four core elements of the 11 Plus admissions process: Maths, English, Reasoning (verbal and non-verbal), and Interview Skills. Our Maths and English syllabus also includes specialised areas such as creative comprehension, thinking skills, and puzzles.

Class sizes are limited to a 7:1 pupil-to-tutor ratio, ensuring focused attention and high-quality teaching. All pupils receive workbooks to use throughout the course, which they can then take home to support further revision.

How is the course structured?

The 11 Plus Summer Course runs from Monday to Friday, 10:00am to 3:30pm, at our Central London venue. Lessons are interactive, supportive, and carefully managed by our experienced course managers, alongside a team of specialist tutors, to keep children engaged, motivated, and confident throughout the week.

The week begins and ends with mock exams conducted under timed conditions. These assessments allow us to identify each child’s strengths and areas for improvement, group pupils appropriately, and tailor teaching throughout the course to ensure every child is suitably challenged.

Following the course, a detailed written report containing honest feedback and clear recommendations is emailed to parents within 10 working days. This ensures parents are fully informed about their child’s progress and next steps.

Here are some example topics of what the Summer holiday courses cover:

• Understanding algebraic language and using algebraic formulas to solve problems (maths)
• Mastering the relationship between fractions, decimals, percentages and ratios (maths)
• Finding the area, perimeter and volume of common shapes (maths)
• Extracting information from tables, charts, graphs and pie charts (maths and creative comprehension)
• Solving complex worded questions and problems in the fastest methods (maths and puzzles)
• Comprehension – writing to score top marks (English and creative comprehension)
• Improving creative writing to gain maximum marks (English)
• Spelling, punctuation and grammar revision (English)
• Vocabulary (English and verbal-reasoning)
• Logical deduction skills (Verbal reasoning)
• Spatial awareness (Non-verbal reasoning and maths)
• Identifying similarities between shapes and words (verbal and non-verbal reasoning)
• Mathematical concepts such as symmetry, rotation and reflection (maths and non-verbal reasoning)
• Interview skills and exam technique

Children are welcome to join us for multiple weeks. Each week’s course will be different, so children who have attended our courses previously will extend their learning and will not be repeating the same content.

Testimonials

“My child attended the October half term camp. This was probably the most valuable investment I made in my my child’s 11+ journey. The feedback report I received was far superior to any feedback that I received from any other source (including 1:1 tutors from another company) and helped me focus on the right areas to help my child with the 11+ exam.”

FAIZA (Verified on Google)

Really grateful to the team. My youngest attended courses for 11 plus prep and then we took up their online tuition to finish up with her and my son doing GCSEs next summer. I wasn’t too keen on online to begin with but it certainly does the trick. We have got places for our top three choices and feel very confident about the pending GCSE results. Very happy, highly recommended.

STEVEN GAYLE

“Excellent Saturday school and tuition. Run by friendly, professional people with many years of experience with the schooling systems (grammars and fee paying private schools). My son attended from age 8 to 10 when he sat the 11+ and passed Kent grammar exams with flying colours. I recommend 11PlusLondon very highly and now use them for my youngest son, who enjoys the classes.”

E I (Verified on Google)

“We have done a variety of courses and mock tests, leading up to our child’s 11+ exams. All were great help with knowing what areas we needed to work on and also helped our son feel relaxed in his actual exams, and not fretting about his interviews. The feedback reports were really informative and then we could discuss things further with Jane and her team, so we really got great assistance.”
