πŸ“˜ Get Ready for Year 5 (2026) – English Only Course

Give your child a focused and confident start to Year 5 – the most important year for 11+ preparation.

Running from Monday 17th – Friday 21st August, this structured one-week English course is designed for students currently in Year 4 who are moving into Year 5 and ready to begin more deliberate preparation for a range of entrance exams, including grammar schools and selective independent schools.

Each session is 1 hour daily, delivered in a small group setting to ensure clear explanation, strong engagement, and opportunities for every student to participate.

Throughout the week, students will develop:

  • Stronger vocabulary and precise word choice

  • Secure understanding of synonyms and antonyms

  • Confidence in using context clues to decode unfamiliar vocabulary

  • Key comprehension skills, including:

    • Retrieval

    • Inference

    • Identifying key ideas

    • Understanding theme and author intent

Lessons are designed to move beyond basic understanding, introducing students to the type of thinking and question styles expected in Year 5 and 11+ preparation.

This course is ideal for students who would benefit from a focused English boost before the academic year begins, particularly those preparing for upcoming entrance exams.

By the end of the week, parents will have a clearer understanding of their child’s current level, along with guidance on what to focus on in the lead-up to exams.

Delivered online via Zoom, with a face-to-face option available in CR2 (limited spaces – please enquire).
