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

Purley has no Grammar Schools of its own, as Croydon does not have any selective Grammar Schools within the borough. As a result, many Purley families looking for Grammar School options turn to Sutton, where selective schools use a shared first-stage test in September 2027. Easter provides Year 5 students with a valuable opportunity to strengthen their Maths and English skills ahead of the test, which focuses solely on these two subjects rather than Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning. Our Online 11 Plus Easter Revision Course is designed around the Sutton SET format. We provide live small-group lessons, timed mock papers and personalised tutor feedback to help pupils prepare effectively in the areas that matter most.

How Qualification for Barnet Grammar Schools Works

Grammar schools in Barnet do not have a consortium. Due to which the exam pattern for one school is not the same as the other. Resultantly, making Easter courses important with the essence to equip students with the knowledge that will be required to pass 11 Plus entrance tests conducted for those Grammar Schools.
The importance of 11 Plus preparation can be highlighted from the below discussion:

The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test Round-1

The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET) excludes assessment of Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The SET consists of two multiple-choice papers in Maths and English, each lasting approximately 40 to 50 minutes.

The Sutton Selective Eligibility Test Round-2

Candidates who achieve the required standard in the SET progress to a second-stage written examination. This examination takes place before the schools issue final offers.

Sutton Grammar School Places

Sutton hosts five selective Grammar Schools, all of which are highly competitive and consistently rank among the most oversubscribed institutions in the country. Nonsuch High School for Girls has a published admission number (PAN) of 210 for Year 7 entry, whereas Sutton Grammar School has a PAN of 150.

Wallington High School (for Girls)

Wallington High School for Girls has a published admission number (PAN) of 210 for Year 7 entry. Formal offers are issued after Results Day and are contingent upon subject selection and the availability of places. The school’s oversubscription criteria may also be applied.

How Local Families Have Prepared for the 11 Plus

"Adapting Preparation to the SET"

At the start of Year 5, a pupil from Purley practised Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning questions. The family later discovered that the Sutton SET evaluates only Maths and English. During the 2025 Easter Revision Course, the pupil shifted to targeted practice in Maths and English, incorporating timed exercises. This strategy improved his familiarity with the test format.

"Getting Ready for Both Selection Stages"

Another family from Purley prioritised understanding the procedures following the initial SET. Their daughter attended the 2025 Easter course to prepare for the complete selection process. Timed tasks and structured practice improved her consistency and built the stamina required for both the SET and the second-stage assessment.
