Year 5 Prep Course

year 5 Preparatory Course

Our intensive Year 5 Preparatory Programme builds upon the foundations laid in our Year 4 Programme and covers all of the skills that are required for success in the GL Eleven Plus Exam. English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal reasoning skills are further developed and fine-tuned. By the end of the program our pupils will have covered advanced levels of the National Curriculum in English and Maths, thereby exceeding many of the Year 6 Objectives. Our curriculum ensures that all of the children are familiar with the style, structure and content of the 11+ Exam. They are taught exam techniques and proficiency in timing and we allow them to practice this through our mock exams. Our children finish the course with confidence, undaunted and ready to face any challenges ahead.
