About this Event
What is the 5 Day 11+ May Half-Term Course?
The 5 is designed to identify and address any gaps in knowledge as children prepare for their upcoming 11 Plus entrance exams. Delivered over five consecutive days, the course focuses on key topics and common sticking points in Maths and English, helping pupils consolidate learning and strengthen exam technique.
By the end of the course, your child will have had the opportunity to develop greater familiarity with the demands of the 11 Plus and practise a range of question types used by exam boards such as ISEB, GL, CEM and ATOM.
At 11 Plus London, we recognise that every child learns differently. While the course follows a structured programme covering the most frequently examined topics, tutors also work closely with pupils on an individual level to assess strengths and areas for improvement. This allows teaching to be adapted where needed and provides valuable insight into each child’s progress.
Parents receive detailed feedback on their child’s performance throughout the course, along with clear recommendations and next steps to support continued progress and help each pupil reach their full potential.
How is the 11+ May Half-Term Course structured?
Our May Half-Term Course will take place over 5 days, in line with the school holidays. This allows you to make the most of your child’s half-term break, giving them the opportunity to continue their learning in a way that is more suited to those planning to take their 11 plus examinations in the coming year.
The week is split between the three elements of the 11 Plus exams:
Maths: (operations, key topics, shapes, problem solving, puzzles and statistics)
English: (creative writing, inference, spag, figurative language, creative comprehension/analysis and exam technique)
Reasoning: (Verbal and non-verbal reasoning)
You can book the entire week or book full days focusing on Maths, Reasoning or English.
The lessons have been created by 11 Plus experts and taught by an experienced team of specialised tutors who have dedicated years to preparing students for their entrance examinations. Despite being an intensive week of learning, classes are taught in an enthusiastic and engaging manner. This allows your child’s half-term to be fun-filled yet challenging, allowing you to take full advantage of the school holiday. Class size is limited, with a 7:1 student-to-tutor ratio to ensure focused and effective learning. All learning materials and assessments included in the course are provided by us, as well as homework for your child to continue their learning at home.
At the beginning of our May Half-Term Course, your child will take mock examinations in Maths and English. These will be marked in line with the standards of your prospective schools and a detailed report will be provided with our feedback at the end of the course. Parents often find this the most valuable aspect of our courses as it provides you with exceptional insight into their child’s performance and sticking points, as well as seeing how they progressed over the week’s lessons.
Who is the 11 Plus May Half Term Course for?
The 11 Plus May Half-Term Course is designed for children in Year 5. Whether your child has been preparing for the 11+ over a longer period or has only recently begun, the course is suitable for pupils at all stages of their entrance exam journey.
To ensure every child gains maximum benefit, pupils are grouped according to year group and ability. This course is particularly well suited to Year 5 students preparing for grammar school or independent school 11+ entrance exams.

Testimonials
“I have known 11 plus London since 2019 (pre- pandemic). Jane and her team helped my son navigate the path to the 11plus exams. They worked on his weaknesses with a lot of patience. The team is very approachable, polite and honest especially Jane. My ds got into QE boys Barnet with a decent score. They have been helping my daughter for her exams in 2025 and are a big help in building her confidence. I would genuinely recommend the lessons”
AMIT (Verified on Trustpilot)
“I have had an outstanding experience with 11 Plus London and its dedicated team of teachers. From the moment we began, it was clear that the tutors are highly skilled, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping students succeed. The teaching approach is tailored to each child’s individual learning needs, ensuring they gain both confidence and mastery of the material. The resources provided are top-notch, and the progress tracking system allows us to see tangible improvements every step of the way.
What truly stands out is the dedication and support from the teachers. They are not only experts in their subject areas, but they also know how to motivate and engage students, making learning both enjoyable and effective. My child has shown significant improvement in their skills, and we are more confident than ever as she begins secondary school. I wholeheartedly recommend 11 Plus London for any parent looking to give their child the best possible preparation.”
CU (Verified on Trustpilot)
“My child attended the October half term camp. This was probably the most valuable investment I made in my my child’s 11+ journey. The feedback report I received was far superior to any feedback that I received from any other source (including 1:1 tutors from another company) and helped me focus on the right areas to help my child with the 11+ exam.”
FAIZA (Verified on Google)
“We have done a variety of courses and mock tests, leading up to our child’s 11+ exams. All were great help with knowing what areas we needed to work on and also helped our son feel relaxed in his actual exams, and not fretting about his interviews. The feedback reports were really informative and then we could discuss things further with Jane and her team, so we really got great assistance.”
MO (verified on Trustpilot)
“Really good support for preparing for exams. They really helped my daughter prepare and boosted her confidence at just the right time.”
