11+

The 11+ exam is one of the most significant assessments a pupil will undertake; the results directly impact their future educational path. Most UK primary schools do not specifically prepare pupils for these exams, which are typically sat in September or January of Year 6. Furthermore, much of the 11+ mathematics content is drawn from the Year 6 national curriculum, with many independent schools setting papers that go well beyond these standards, making dedicated preparation essential.

Mr Armitage's online 11+ course is designed to bridge this gap through a comprehensive, structured approach:

  1. Content Mastery: Ensuring all required National Curriculum content for Year 6 is taught well in advance of the exam. This also includes additional material not covered in the state curriculum, giving pupils a competitive edge.

  2. Advanced Algebra: The level of algebraic understanding expected for success in the 11+ is often greater than that taught in schools. This course focuses on building these essential skills to a high standard.

  3. Worded Problem-Solving: This is frequently the most challenging area for pupils. The course dedicates significant time to decoding and solving complex word problems, which helps bring together new topics and algebraic skills.

  4. Embedded Learning & Retrieval Practice: Purposeful homework is set each week to consolidate learning. This strategic practice uses spaced repetition to revisit topics, locking knowledge into long-term memory and building the connections between concepts that are vital for 11+ success.
