11+ Preparation at
Blooming Education and Tuition
Inspiring Confidence. Building Excellence. Securing Futures.
At Blooming Education and Tuition, we specialise in providing expertly structured 11+ preparation courses for students aiming to gain entry into selective grammar and independent schools. With a deep understanding of the 11+ landscape, we offer a progressive and systematic journey that builds the right foundation, strengthens core skills, and equips students with the knowledge, techniques, and confidence to succeed.
Whether your child is beginning their 11+ journey in Year 3 or joining us later in Year 5 or Year 6, our carefully sequenced programmes are designed to meet them where they are—and take them further.
When to Start Preparing
We recommend starting 11+ preparation in Year 3, allowing pupils to build confidence and core literacy gradually and without pressure. However, many students begin their journey in Year 4 or Year 5, and we provide strong support for pupils joining at any stage. For students who join later or wish to accelerate their progress, our one-to-one tuition offers targeted support to bridge learning gaps, consolidate key content, and build confidence. ➡️ For one-to-one tuition, please click the button below to find out more.
