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

Surbiton offers a strategic location for families seeking admission to Kingston’s Grammar Schools, as portions of the area fall within Tiffin Girls’ School’s highest-priority Inner Area. Given that both Tiffin School and Tiffin Girls’ School administer independent two-stage entrance examinations in autumn 2027, the Easter period represents an optimal time for Year 5 pupils to concentrate on the Maths and English skills necessary for Stage 1.

The Online 11 Plus Easter Revision Course delivers targeted preparation through live small-group instruction, timed mock examinations, and personalised feedback from tutors experienced with the Tiffin-style assessment.

What Is Included in Our Surbiton 11 Plus Easter Course?

During the Easter break, Year 5 pupils at Surbiton have the opportunity to focus on subjects most pertinent to Tiffin School entrance requirements.

Stage 1 assessments at both schools emphasise Maths and English, rather than Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Understanding Surbiton Grammar School Qualification

Although priority status may facilitate admissions, it does not eliminate competitive pressures. As a result, many Surbiton families use the Easter period to build relevant skills ahead of the final application phase.
Here’s what’s worth knowing if you’re applying from Surbiton:

Tiffin schools Round-1

Unlike many selective schools, the Tiffin entrance assessments exclude separate Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning examinations. Preparation focuses on Maths and English, with questions designed to challenge students beyond the standard primary school curriculum.

Tiffin schools Round-2

Tiffin School and Tiffin Girls’ School do not participate in a unified borough-wide 11 Plus examination. Instead, each institution administers an independent two-stage selection process. All eligible applicants begin with Stage 1, and only those with the highest results are invited to proceed to Stage 2.

Tiffin schools Places

Tiffin School allocates 180 Year 7 places and implements a 10-kilometre Priority Area within its admissions criteria. Surbiton is located within this boundary, granting eligible boys a geographical advantage during the allocation process.

Tiffin Girls’ School

Tiffin Girls’ School also allocates 180 Year 7 places. Its admissions policy divides the local area into an Inner Area. Places at both schools are still allocated by combined test score within the relevant priority area, so Surbiton families need a strong result across both stages, not just a favourable postcode.

About 11 Plus Tutoring

Selective school preparation constitutes the primary focus of 11 Plus Tutoring. Tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, including comprehensive vetting and safeguarding checks prior to teaching. The programmes are designed to support families preparing for Tiffin and other competitive schools throughout the United Kingdom. The 11 Plus Easter Revision Course gives Year 5 pupils a structured way to make meaningful progress during the holidays. Live small-group lessons, timed mock exams, tutor feedback and targeted revision work together to improve essential skills, expose weaker areas and build confidence ahead of the autumn entrance tests. Families can also browse our Trustpilot reviews for feedback from previous customers.

How Local Families Have Prepared for the 11 Plus

The following narratives are based on actual experiences of families we have supported. Names and identifying details have been modified to ensure each family’s privacy.

"Not Taking Priority Status for Granted "

For one Surbiton Hill family, being inside Tiffin Girls’ School’s Inner Area was an advantage, but they knew it could not replace careful preparation. Their daughter joined our 2025 Easter course and used the holiday to sharpen her Maths and English technique, practise against the clock and become more confident with demanding questions.

"Getting Comfortable With a Two-Stage Process "

A Surbiton family sought to ensure their son did not perceive Stage 1 as the final goal. He enrolled in the course in 2025 and dedicated the Easter break to completing timed questions and mock papers structured according to the two-stage process. This consistent practice enabled him to improve time management and sustain his performance as he progressed to Stage 2.
