The Test and Why Us?
The Birmingham Grammar School Consortium was formed by a group of grammar schools in the Birmingham area to collaborate on the admissions process and administer a common entrance examination known as the 11 plus exam. The aim is to provide a fair and standardised process for selecting students based on their academic abilities for Year 7 entry into the participating grammar schools.
In Birmingham (and Warwickshire), the Grammar Schools have the same exam. The exam is set by GL (Granada Learning) and their 11 plus exams have two papers. Both papers will have sections covering English comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Maths, Non-Verbal Reasoning, and Spatial Reasoning. Each paper is multiple choice and lasts approximately an hour.
The Maths 11 plus topics cover core skills taught throughout Key Stage 2, including a large majority of National Curriculum guidelines for Year 6. However, there may be topic areas in the 11 plus exams that children may not have been taught at primary school, or may not yet have even come across before.
As the 11 plus is designed to measure a child’s academic potential at a level beyond the general standard expected, it is important that your child is coping well with their school class work and homework, before starting their 11+ preparation. Otherwise it will be a very challenging process for them.
At 11 Plus Tuition Champions, we understand the importance of the 11 plus exams and the impact it has on your child's future.
We will undertake a free assessment to see where your child is and provide feedback based on this and tell you honestly if we think the 11 plus is not for them.
If your child suits the 11 plus, we will enrol them on our course and start to provide access to our resources. In our face to face sessions your child will learn the skills and techniques to help them on their 11 plus journey.
Whether it be your first experience on the 11 plus journey, or even if you have been through this before, we will provide support every step of the way. Both to you and your child, whenever it is needed.
Our specialised tutoring services are designed to support students on their journey to success. With a data-driven approach, we identify areas for improvement and tailor our tuition to target weak areas and support your child's specific needs, helping them excel in English, Maths, Verbal and Non-verbal reasoning.
Our tutoring services go beyond traditional classroom learning. We provide resources, online tests, homework, and extra support sessions to ensure that your child is fully prepared for the grammar test.
One monthly cost also covers the multiple different GL type mock exams, all which simulate the actual exam, allowing students to gain valuable experience and develop essential exam techniques ahead of the actual grammar test.
