The 11 Plus exam can open doors to top grammar schools and scholarships — but only if your child is fully prepared. With expert tuition, they gain the skills, confidence, and strategies to excel, making it a small investment with lifelong returns.
1. Access Top Schools Without Ongoing Fees
Grammar schools provide excellent education without the high costs of private schools.
Independent school fees can reach £22,000 – £35,000 per year, totalling £110,000 – £175,000 over five years.
Since 2025, VAT of 20% has increased private school fees by around £4,000 annually per child.
A small investment in tuition now can save hundreds of thousands later and improve scholarship opportunities.
2. Structured, Targeted Preparation
The 11 Plus tests skills beyond the primary curriculum, such as non-verbal reasoning and advanced comprehension. Expert tuition provides:
Targeted practice and proven strategies
Guidance on what examiners really look for
Confidence and exam readiness
3. Tailored Support & Lifelong Skills
Every child is different. Tuition provides:
Personalised learning plans and support
Study habits, organisational skills, and critical thinking
Opportunities to study with like-minded, hardworking peers, encouraging healthy competition and social growth
4. Supports Long-Term School Planning
Securing a place at a top grammar school affects secondary education beyond the 11 Plus. Many schools give priority to their current students when admitting into the sixth form, providing continuity, stability, and a smoother academic journey throughout their school years.
5. Reduces Stress for Children and Parents
Expert tuition provides a clear roadmap, helping children feel supported and confident, while parents gain peace of mind about preparation and readiness.
6. A Smart Investment with Significant Returns
High-quality tuition is a fraction of private school costs but provides significant returns:
Places at excellent grammar schools
Access to scholarships
An academic head start that lasts a lifetime
