Online 11 Plus Easter Revision Course for Highgate Students

Setting your sights on a Barnet Grammar School? Haringey doesn’t run a Grammar School of its own, so Year 5 families in Highgate typically look just across the borough boundary to Queen Elizabeth’s School and The Henrietta Barnett School in Barnet, both easily accessible from N6. The live online 11 Plus Easter Revision Course provides Highgate pupils with eight days of focused instruction during the Easter holidays, including small-group sessions, timed practice, and individualised tutor feedback in Maths, English, and both Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Looking for 11 Plus Revision During the Easter Holidays in Highgate?

Due to the absence of Grammar Schools in Haringey, many families in Highgate consider Barnet’s two Grammar Schools: Queen Elizabeth’s School for boys and The Henrietta Barnett School for girls. As both institutions conduct their own entrance examinations in September 2027, the Easter holidays present an optimal period for Year 5 pupils to address academic weaknesses before exam preparation intensifies. The online 11 Plus Easter Revision Course is structured to support this academic pathway, providing live small-group instruction, timed mock examinations, and personalised tutor feedback aligned with the assessment formats of these two Barnet schools.

Who Can Join Our 11 Plus Easter Revision Course

The service includes families residing in Highgate and neighbouring areas such as Dartmouth, Hampstead, and East Finchley, encompassing the N6, N8, N10, and N2 postcode areas.

Children preparing for Queen Elizabeth’s School, a boys’ Grammar School in Chipping Barnet, and The Henrietta Barnett School, a girls’ Grammar School in Hampstead Garden Suburb, benefit from the absence of catchment areas. This policy enables families in Highgate to apply on equal terms with those living closer to the schools.
Pupils enrolled at local primary schools, including Highgate Primary School and St Michael’s CofE Voluntary Aided Primary School, are preparing for the 11 Plus examination.
The 11 Plus Highgate Tuition programme offers year-round preparation for students seeking comprehensive support beyond a single course.
Note School names are included solely for geographical and admissions context. 11 Plus Tutoring holds no affiliation with, and receives no endorsement from, these schools, the London Borough of Haringey, the London Borough of Barnet, or GL Assessment.

Understanding Barnet Grammar School Qualification

Admission to Barnet’s Grammar Schools is highly competitive, even for families residing nearby. Consequently, many Highgate parents utilise the Easter break to advance their children’s preparation in the final months.
Here’s what’s worth knowing about 11 Plus preparation in Barnet:

Queen Elizabeth's School Round-1

Neither Queen Elizabeth’s School nor The Henrietta Barnett School enforces a catchment area policy. Consequently, families residing in Highgate are not formally disadvantaged relative to applicants living within Barnet.

Queen Elizabeth's School Round-2

Queen Elizabeth’s School assesses applicants solely in English and Maths, offers 180 places annually, and requires a combined standardised score of 225 or higher, according to the school’s published admissions information.

Henrietta Barnett School Places

The Henrietta Barnett School offers 120 places for Year 7 entry and implements a two-round admissions process. The first round assesses Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, and English. The second round, for the 300 highest scorers, evaluates English and Maths.

Henrietta Barnett School

The Henrietta Barnett School considers proximity after the second round, prioritising candidates within approximately three miles when results are closely matched. It is advisable to confirm this policy directly with the school, given Highgate’s location relative to Hampstead Garden Suburb.

How Local Families Have Prepared for the 11 Plus

The following examples are based on actual families we have assisted, with identifying information altered to ensure confidentiality.

"Applying With Confidence From Outside Barnet "

For one Highgate family, the question was whether living just outside Barnet might affect their daughter’s chances of applying to The Henrietta Barnett School. She joined our Easter Revision Course in 2025, where practice across all four areas was combined with guidance on the admissions process. By the end of the course, her family felt much more informed and confident about moving forward with the application.

"Balancing Two Different Test Formats"

In 2025, another Highgate family signed their son up with Queen Elizabeth’s School in mind, while keeping other selective school options open. Rather than focusing on one test style, his Easter preparation covered Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. This broader approach allowed him to develop a balanced set of skills without committing too early to a single entrance format.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

How useful is Easter for Highgate 11 Plus pupils?

Easter gives Year 5 pupils valuable time to strengthen weaker areas and develop key skills before the Barnet Grammar School tests in September.

Which Grammar Schools do Highgate pupils target?

As Haringey has no Grammar Schools, many Highgate families prepare for Queen Elizabeth’s School and The Henrietta Barnett School in Barnet.

Does living in Highgate affect a Barnet Grammar School application?

Not directly. Neither school has a traditional catchment area, although distance can play a role in HBS’s final allocation process.

Do both Barnet schools use the same 11 Plus test?

No. Queen Elizabeth’s School assesses English and Maths, while The Henrietta Barnett School uses a two-stage process involving English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

When should mock exam practice begin?

Many families introduce mock papers during Year 5, with Easter providing a useful opportunity to increase timed practice before the September tests.

Is Easter revision enough on its own?

Easter revision can be highly beneficial, but it is generally most effective as part of a wider preparation plan. The eight-day course focuses on strengthening weaker areas and improving exam technique.

How can pupils improve 11 Plus speed over Easter?

Regular timed exercises, mock papers and repeated practice with different question types help pupils improve pace, accuracy and familiarity with exam conditions.
