Sutton Grammar Schools and What the Exam Tests
Sutton and the areas around it have several selective schools, such as Sutton Grammar School, Wallington County Grammar School, Wallington High School for Girls, Nonsuch High School for Girls and Wilson’s School. Each school sets its own rules, and test dates and formats can change from year to year, so check the school website for the latest news before you apply.
Whichever test your child sits, the same four skills sit behind it. We teach them in both GL and CEM style.
| Subject | What your pupil does | How we teach it |
| English | Reads a short text, answers questions and writes with clear ideas | Weekly reading and writing tasks with written feedback |
| Maths | Solves number, shape and word problems against the clock | Short drills first, then timed sets |
| Verbal Reasoning | Works with word links, codes and missing letters | Pattern lists and quick daily quizzes |
| Non-Verbal Reasoning | Spots shape rules and finishes a series | Picture rules taught one step at a time |

Which Eleven Plus Class Fits Your Child’s Year Group?
Not sure which class to pick? Start with your child’s year group.
- Year 4, Groundwork course: Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning taught early, so the exam feels familiar later. Choose Friday online or Saturday in person.
- Year 5, 11+ preparation: English, Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, 11plus Creative Writing on Thursday evening. This is the main year for speed and accuracy.
- Year 6, English and Maths: a Sunday online class for children who aim for independent school and Stage 2 prep.
- Year 3, English course: a younger class is also open. Ask us for the dates.
Parent reviews on Google often praise our Creative Writing class and our small groups. If you want help to choose, send us your child’s year and the schools you have in mind, and we will point you to the right class.
Why Small Face-to-Face Groups Help Children Pass?
In a big class, a pupil can sit quietly and hide a gap for weeks. In a group of six, the tutor sees each mistake straight away and fixes it before it grows. Children also feel safe to ask questions, and that is how real learning happens.
- No more than six children in each group
- An 11+ mock test every term in GL and CEM style
- Clear marks and written feedback after each test
- Worksheets and practice papers matched to your child’s level
Face-to-face lessons help younger children stay focused and ask for help fast. Online lessons save travel time on busy school nights. Many Sutton families use both: online on weekdays and in person on Saturday.
A Simple 11+ Plan from Year 4 to Exam Day
| Year | Main aim | What happens |
| Year 4 | Build the base | Core English and Maths, plus a first taste of Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning |
| Year 5 | Learn the test | Weekly classes in all four subjects, Creative Writing, and the first mock tests |
| Year 6 | Get exam ready | Timed papers, work on weak spots, and the Sunday English and Maths class |
Starting in Year 4 means less rush later. Many children join in Year 5 and still do well, so it is never too late to ask.
