The West Midlands 11+ exam consists of GL-style papers assessing English Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Mathematics, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Spatial Reasoning. 

Our belief firmly revolves around your child not only being ready for the 11+ test but also teaching them techniques and strategies they can use to improve their progress at school and be ready for life-long learning.

We have created a positive and motivating learning environment to help students prepare for the eleven-plus exam. Our weekly lessons teach children all four aspects of the eleven plus. Choose from group sessions or one to one in addition to weekly focused sessions.
