Some people are surprised to find that 11+ tuition starts as early as Year 3. However, surprisingly, this is not that uncommon. As the grammar school entrance exam is so competitive, many people look to get started as soon as possible. With this in mind, we have come up with a bespoke Smart 11+ Tuition educational journey that guides children through materials over the course of 3 years.
Of course, that is not to say that all our pupils have joined 11+ tuition from Year 3. If you do get started a little later, we will endeavour to cover everything your child needs to know, every term. We want to help your child feel comfortable with the 11+ content and give you, the parents, support with such a challenging process.
What is the Smart 11+ Journey?
From Year 3 onwards, we look to develop a child’s understanding of the requirements for the 11+ exam.
