TheStudySoc 11+
Calm, structured preparation for grammar and independent school entrance.
The 11+ rewards preparation, not pressure. We build the maths, English and reasoning skills the exams actually test, in small groups, with honest feedback for parents at every stage.
Families with children in Years 4, 5 and 6 preparing for grammar or independent school entrance.

Programmes
Small-group preparation courses
Weekly sessions covering maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, taught in small groups with work marked and reviewed every week.
Mock entrance exams
Full timed mocks in exam conditions, followed by a written breakdown of strengths, gaps and what to practise next.
Parent guidance
Plain-English advice on school choices, application timelines and how to support preparation at home without the stress.
How we work
Skills before tricks
We teach the underlying maths and literacy first, reasoning scores follow strong foundations.
Little and often
Steady weekly practice beats intensive cramming at this age. Our courses are built around that.
Parents kept informed
You always know what was covered, how your child did, and what happens next.
Questions, answered
When should my child start preparing?
Most families begin in Year 4 or early Year 5. Starting earlier means shorter, calmer sessions, we'll give you an honest view of timing when you get in touch.
Do you prepare for specific schools?
We prepare for the formats used by grammar and independent schools, including GL and school-specific papers. Tell us which schools you're considering and we'll tailor the preparation.
How do we know if our child is on track?
Every mock comes with a written report, and we'll always tell you honestly where your child stands, including if we think a different school list makes sense.
When do courses run?
