Skills To Approach
The Next Step.
Preparing for grammar school involves more than practising papers. Children need secure foundations, a broad vocabulary and the confidence to work through unfamiliar questions.
Explore 11+ preparation →Our 11+ focus is the Slough Consortium examination and Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test (STT). Tuition develops English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, including spatial skills, alongside careful reading, accuracy and time management.
Maths & Problem-Solving
Build number fluency and understanding of fractions, decimals, percentages, shape, measurement and data. Practise breaking multi-step problems into manageable stages and checking answers.
Verbal Reasoning
Explore word relationships, analogies, codes and logical deductions. Learn to spot connections and choose a systematic approach when a question looks unfamiliar.
Non-Verbal & Spatial Reasoning
Recognise patterns, sequences and relationships between shapes. Practise rotations, reflections and spatial problems, explaining the rule before selecting an answer.
Purposeful practice helps children build useful exam habits: following instructions, working at a steady pace and learning from mistakes. The 11+ page explains how these skills relate to each local test.
Parents should check official arrangements for their child’s entry year. Tuition does not guarantee a qualifying score or a school place.

KS1 Tuition
A positive start can make learning feel less daunting. KS1 tuition focuses on the building blocks children use every day, with clear explanations, practical examples and manageable practice.
Subjects & skills covered
- Maths: counting, place value and number bonds; early addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; simple fractions, shapes, money and time.
- English: phonics and decoding, reading fluency and understanding; spelling, handwriting, sentence building and basic punctuation.
- Science: plants, animals, everyday materials and seasonal changes, with opportunities to observe, compare, sort and ask questions.
Children practise putting ideas into words, having a go at new tasks and building confidence with reading and numbers.
Discover KS1 tuition →KS2 Tuition
As schoolwork becomes more demanding, children benefit from understanding the reasons behind a method. KS2 tuition strengthens core knowledge and helps children apply it to more challenging questions.
Subjects & skills covered
- Maths: times tables and written calculations; fractions, decimals and percentages; geometry, measurement, statistics and multi-step word problems.
- English: comprehension, inference and evidence; richer vocabulary, grammar and punctuation; planning, drafting and editing writing for different purposes.
- Science: living things, materials, forces, light, sound, electricity, Earth and space across the key stage, alongside fair testing and interpreting results.
Children develop the habit of explaining their thinking, choosing useful strategies and checking their own work as they prepare for secondary school.
Discover KS2 tuition →KS3 Tuition
Secondary school brings new subjects, more complex ideas and greater independence. KS3 tuition helps children revisit gaps, make connections and develop clearer, more confident answers.
Subjects & skills covered
- Maths: algebra, equations, sequences and graphs; ratio and proportion; geometry, probability and statistics, with a focus on reasoning.
- English: analyse fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama; explore language and structure; use quotations and evidence, and develop accurate, purposeful writing.
- Science: Biology, Chemistry and Physics, from cells and ecosystems to particles, reactions, forces and energy; practise scientific enquiry, graphing and evaluation.
Children practise applying knowledge to unfamiliar problems, organising ideas and justifying conclusions—skills that support later GCSE study.
