Year 4 11+

All about the Year 4 11+

We offer face-to-face tuition at our centre.

If your child is starting Year 4 this September and you wish them to prepare for the 11 plus entrance exam earlier, then our year 4 course is a fantastic way to kick-start their 11 plus preparation.

Many parents wonder whether starting 11+ preparation in year 4 is beneficial or not. Although this can vary between individuals, our experience shows that children who do start their 11 plus preparation at the beginning of Year 4 begin to develop the skills needed to succeed in the 11+ exam early.  This prepares the children for the Year 5 11+ course that we offer. 

How a Year 4 Session Works:  Each Year 4 session includes a curriculum Maths topic. The English and Non-Verbal Reasoning topics rotate on a weekly basis and include various Grammar, Punctuation and Spelling (GPS) elements and all types of Non-Verbal Reasoning topics which have featured on recent 11+ exams. Every few weeks there are times tables, calculation, and vocabulary quizzes. At the end of each session, parents are given feedback about their child’s progress on each objective,  and their focus during the lesson. During the session, children work through the same objectives at a level according to their own ability. If children successfully work through all objectives accurately, a challenge objective is given. Each session is teacher-led and paper-based, as opposed to computer-based work. No computer-based class work is given, because as experienced teachers, we feel the best learning happens with teacher-led modelling and discussion, followed by independent work. 

Days/Times: Saturdays 10:00am-12:00pm; Sundays 12:30pm-2:30pm. Please contact us for availability.

Please be aware that we offer small-group tuition rather than 1-1 tuition at our centre.

Cost:£100 paid online per calendar month from September 2023 (£105 if paid by cash).

 Visual Resources:

At S4E we feel it is important that children have access to as many visual aides and resources as possible, especially if they are struggling with certain objectives. For example, if they are working on the objective  of elapsed time  in year 3 or 4, children will  be given  working clocks  to increase their understanding of telling the difference in time.
