If you’re the parent of a Year 5 child and thinking about preparing your child for the 11+ grammar school test, now is a great time to start. There’s less pressure if you start early and you can take the pace a little more slowly.
Some parents may have already secured a personal tutor while others may be going it completely alone, teaching from books and online resources. While both approaches have advantages, most parents choose to use additional support, particularly by attending on location mock tests. However, there are many other courses and events available such as those run by Cotswold Education, a respected specialist in Gloucestershire 11+ preparation. There are online group tuition courses, which can be a cost-effective alternative to a personal tutor, as well as summer schools and focused Masterclasses.
