"Specialist 11+ preparation across CEM and GL Assessment."
11+ questions from parents
We recommend starting in Year 3 with our Foundation programme. This gives children a gradual, structured pathway over three years, building subject knowledge in Year 3, introducing exam-style content in Year 4, and developing speed, accuracy and exam confidence in Year 5. Starting early reduces pressure and produces better outcomes.
