Strong foundations are essential in 11+ Maths. Beginning with core topics such as number and place value, and building understanding through regular practice, can support steady progress over time.

Simple habits such as daily Maths review, developing mental maths techniques, setting time goals, and celebrating progress can help children build both confidence and understanding.

How can you support your child through the 11+ journey?

For many children, 11+ preparation is a new and unfamiliar experience.

It is not always easy, and that is completely natural.

What helps most is feeling supported.

✔️ A calm and consistent routine
✔️ Reassurance when things feel difficult
✔️ Encouragement to keep going

Over time, this helps children build confidence, resilience and independence.

At SDE, we believe the 11+ journey is about more than the test. It is about helping each child feel capable, supported and ready for what comes next.

Choosing the right 11+ tuition provider is an important step in your child’s preparation journey.

Alongside the type of tuition, it is helpful for parents to consider factors such as teaching approach, course materials, class size and how progress is assessed.

Visiting a tuition centre, speaking with the tutors and arranging a trial lesson or initial assessment with feedback can provide valuable insight before making a commitment.

It is also important to remember that 11+ arrangements vary between areas and can change from year to year. Parents should always consult official sources such as grammar school admissions policies, local authority guidance and the relevant 11+ testing consortium.

In this carousel, we share a few practical considerations that may help parents evaluate different tuition providers.

For a more detailed guide, you can read the full blog article on our website.

Introducing our new SDE 11+ Vocabulary Flashcards.

We are pleased to share a new academic resource created specifically for our Year 5 pupils preparing for the 11+.

A strong vocabulary is essential for success in Verbal Reasoning and English comprehension — and builds confident communication beyond the exam.

Each week, pupils are introduced to 10 carefully selected 11+ words, structured across 23 weeks of the Course.

✔️ 10 key 11+ words each week
✔️ Synonyms, antonyms and example sentences
✔️ Designed for long-term retention
✔️ Aligned with weekly learning

Developed by our SDE tutoring team, these flashcards are designed to support independent study, parent-child discussions, and steady, little-and-often progress.

We look forward to seeing our pupils grow in confidence as they apply these words accurately in exams and everyday language.

Parents often ask which type of 11+ tuition works best for their child.

The most effective preparation depends on your child’s learning style, confidence and academic needs.

Some children thrive in small, structured group classes where shared learning and discussion can help build motivation and confidence. Others benefit from personalised one-to-one support. Online learning or parent-led preparation may also suit some families.

Understanding the differences between these approaches can help parents make a thoughtful and informed decision.

You may wish to save this guide for reference as you explore the different options available.

In this carousel, we outline the most common 11+ tuition options and a few helpful questions parents may wish to consider.

For a more detailed guide, you can read the full blog article on our website.

Reading is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen a child’s vocabulary. A strong vocabulary supports success in the 11+ and builds confident communication beyond the exam.

Here are three simple ways to deepen learning during reading time.

✔️ Pause and explore unfamiliar words.
✔️ Encourage your child to explain new words in their own way.
✔️ Revisit vocabulary later in the week to strengthen retention.

Reading is not only about finishing the book. It is about understanding, applying and remembering the language within it.

Small, consistent steps build lasting confidence.
