🐣 Easter 11+ English Intensive

Advanced Comprehension & Exam Technique for Year 5

This four-day English-only intensive is designed for ambitious Year 5 students preparing for competitive grammar and independent school entrance examinations.

It is particularly suited to students aiming for academically selective pathways and those seeking to strengthen their profile for scholarship-level assessment.

This is not general revision.
It is structured academic preparation for students aiming to perform at the top end of the cohort.

Across four focused sessions, students will develop the analytical precision, vocabulary depth and written response clarity required by highly selective examiners.

  • Analyse complex question wording

  • Handle negative-form questions confidently

  • Eliminate distractors strategically

  • Interpret tone and authorial intent

  • Compare paired texts with logical reasoning

  • Move beyond surface retrieval into layered inference

✍ Written Response Technique

Selective schools reward clarity, control and depth in written explanation.

Students will be taught how to:

  • Structure concise analytical responses

  • Embed textual evidence accurately

  • Justify interpretations logically

  • Avoid vague or generic explanation

  • Demonstrate precision and maturity in their written answers

📖 Advanced Vocabulary, Verbal Reasoning & Critical Thinking

Students aiming for highly selective schools must demonstrate intellectual agility with language.

This course develops:

  • A refined range of sophisticated academic vocabulary frequently encountered in competitive entrance papers

  • Understanding of Greek and Latin word origins to decode unfamiliar terminology

  • Strong context-based deduction strategies

  • Precision in comparing similar words with subtle differences in meaning

  • Awareness of how grammatical choices influence interpretation

Alongside this, verbal reasoning and higher-order thinking are strengthened through:

  • Analogy and word-relationship tasks

  • Logical elimination techniques

  • Careful comparison of nuanced meanings

  • Structured analytical reasoning within demanding texts

Vocabulary is embedded within challenging passages so students learn to apply language with accuracy, confidence and depth.

📝 Final Day: Full English Examination Paper

Students will complete a timed English paper including:

  • Advanced comprehension

  • Written analytical responses

  • Paired text comparison

We will then model high-quality responses, clarify examiner expectations and identify targeted areas for further improvement.
