The ideal two-year 11 Plus pathway. Year 4 builds the knowledge, reasoning skills, and confidence children need before Year 5 becomes fully exam-focused.
Year 4 is where confident 11 Plus preparation really begins. Children are old enough to absorb the full range of 11 Plus material, but still early enough to learn it properly without being rushed by the exam clock.
Our Year 4 programme is designed as the bridge between basic primary-school attainment and the more demanding Year 5 exam programme. We introduce the full 11 Plus subject set in a measured way, build independence, and develop the habits children need to cope well with timed work later.
The Year 4 curriculum is paced to build skill, accuracy, and confidence long before the real exam pressure begins.
Number fluency, fractions, arithmetic methods, word problems, early problem-solving, and the core reasoning skills needed for later 11 Plus papers.
Reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, spelling accuracy, sentence structure, and written expression built to selective-school expectations.
Children begin learning the core logic behind common VR question types so Year 5 feels like progression, not first exposure.
Pattern recognition, sequences, codes, and visual logic are introduced gradually to build confidence before timed demands increase.
We introduce careful working, checking, instruction reading, and light timed practice so children develop good habits from the start.
Regular class checks and tutor feedback help us track understanding and catch weak areas early before they harden into bigger gaps.
