“A commitment to achievement, maximising your Child’s potential”
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
TO ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WHO TOOK THEIR 11+ EXAMS YESTERDAY! …
The 11+ is not an easy experience – It asks a lot of children at a young age, not just academically, but emotionally too. To walk into that exam room, manage their nerves, focus under huge pressure and give their best is something that deserves real recognition. They have worked incredibly hard and persevered through what is a demanding process to get to that point, and they should all feel very proud of the effort, courage and determination they have shown. It has been a privilege to play a part in that journey. We have seen so much progress, growth, confidence and character along the way, and we are very proud of every single one of them. Well done… we are excited for results day and to see how everyone has done!
11+ COURSES 2027
FOR STUDENTS SITTING THEIR 11+ IN 2027
Having said goodbye to our 2026 cohort, our 32nd Year 5 11+ programme is about to begin! This year, we have extended the programme by 5 weeks and added extra hours to help our students be even more prepared than ever before. We have also introduced a rewards scheme that rewards commitment to and completion of the programme with discounts from our popular Summer School.

If you would like to speak to a member of our team about any aspect of the course, please visit the contact page for details on your preferred method of contact.
NLP COMES TO HEAD START
After a successful trial integration on our 2026 course and unprecedented, postive feedback from both pupils and parents alike, we are delighted to announce that we have our NLP expert joining us once again at various stages for the 2027 programme of study. NLP stands for Neuro-linguistic programming and reflects three important aspects of human experience: how we process information, how we use language, and how our patterns of behaviour are shaped. The aim of our NLP sessions this year was introduce students to the concept of ‘the power of the mind’ and to explore and give simple practical tools to help manage nerves, build confidence and affirm that they have everything they need to do their very best. Students were able to put everything they learned into practice at both our Assessment Day and during Summer School and take that through to their 11+ exams, so we are thrilled to be able to repeat the same for our students on the 2027 course.
TWINS DISCOUNT!
BLESSED WITH TWINS? WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK… We understand the financial pressures of providing extra support for two children going through the 11+ at the same time, so we are delighted to offer parents with twins a 5% discount from the cost of attending any phase of study.
