EASTER MOCK TEST

Join us for our first FULL MOCK TEST on Saturday 26th April from 9:00 - 12:00

A mock test is a really important part of getting ready for the 11+ exam.
It’s run just like the real thing—timed, quiet, and under proper test conditions—so your child gets a true feel for what exam day will be like. It’s the perfect chance to make mistakes now, learn from them, and improve before the real test comes around. With only five months to go, this kind of experience is absolutely invaluable. It helps build confidence, shows where extra focus is needed, and gives your child a big boost in feeling prepared and ready.

After the mock test, you'll receive a detailed feedback snapshot within 72 hours, giving you a clear overview of how your child performed, including their strengths and areas that need further development. You’ll also have the option to book a feedback call and a one-to-one session to go over the results in more depth and address any misunderstandings or tricky topics. It’s a great way to keep progress on track and make sure your child gets the support they need.

Cost: £70.00

EASTER WORKSHOP

– Thursday 24th, 4:30pm to 6:30pm

This session will centre around completing a mock test paper that mirrors key components of the 11+ exam. This is an invaluable opportunity for pupils to familiarise themselves with exam-style questions, refine their technique, and, crucially, build the stamina required to maintain focus throughout a full-length assessment.

With expert guidance and a realistic test environment, this workshop is designed to boost confidence and readiness ahead of the upcoming mock test. We highly recommend attending to gain a true sense of what to expect on exam day.

COST: £50. (SPACES ARE NOW VERY LIMITED)
