Our Online 11 Plus Easter Revision Course gives pupils a clear structure for making effective use of the Easter holidays. Live lessons, timed practice and focused feedback help children understand their mistakes, strengthen weaker areas and become more comfortable with 11 Plus-style questions.

Understanding Selective School Options Around Windsor

Windsor families are competing for a fixed number of places alongside applicants from across Slough, Eton and the wider catchment, so it’s worth understanding exactly how the qualification works.

The importance of 11 Plus preparation can be highlighted from the below discussion:

The Slough Consortium 11 Plus Round-1

The Slough Consortium 11 Plus is a two-paper exam covering Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English and Maths. From the September 2027 test, the provider changed to Quest Assessments, as confirmed on Quest Assessments’ official guidance page for the Slough Consortium.

The Slough Consortium 11 Plus Round-2

Meeting the Slough Consortium’s qualifying threshold lets a child apply for Grammar School places, but it does not guarantee admission to a chosen school. Places are allocated according to each school’s individual admissions and oversubscription arrangements.

Herschel Grammar School Places

Herschel Grammar School has 150 Year 7 places planned for September 2027, with a current standardised qualifying score of 111. The school is co-educational and also has a sixth form.

Upton Court Grammar School

Upton Court Grammar School has 165 Year 7 places, with the same current qualifying score of 111. It is also co-educational and offers sixth-form education.

About 11 Plus Tutoring

Selective school entrance preparation requires more than working through practice papers. True exam readiness comes from understanding the core principles behind each question format. At 11 Plus Tutoring, we build key skills in Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

Our tutors explain difficult topics in clear, simple steps and help pupils learn from their mistakes. Tutors are background-checked and hold enhanced DBS checks, helping provide a safe learning environment. Small-group lessons and regular parent feedback also help families understand their child’s progress. Parents can also view independent reviews on our Trustpilot profile.

Preparing Windsor Pupils for the 11 Plus Over Easter

The examples below are drawn from genuine experiences of families who have taken part in 11 Plus Tutoring courses, with personal details changed to protect their privacy.

quotation-mark

"Strong Subject Knowledge, But Timing Needed Work "

For one Windsor family, the issue wasn't knowledge gaps at all. Their child answered questions correctly without a time limit but struggled once a clock was involved. The Easter course's regular timed exercises gave the pupil repeated, low-pressure practice working against the clock, which the family found more useful than doing more untimed practice papers.

quotation-mark

"Weighing Up the Local Upper School Against a Consortium Place "

Deciding whether to pursue a Slough Consortium place at all wasn't a straightforward choice for another Windsor family, given how well-regarded the borough's own Upper schools are. Rather than treating the Easter course as a commitment to one path, the parents used it as a low-pressure way to see how their daughter responded to consortium-style questions before finalising their decision over the summer term.

11 Plus Easter Revision - FAQs Explained

How important is Easter for 11 Plus students in Windsor?
Easter acts as a natural bridge between early learning and final exam refinement. It gives pupils dedicated time to address learning gaps before intensive summer mock exams and final autumn sittings.
Which Grammar Schools Do Windsor Students Prepare For?
Windsor students typically prepare for selective Grammar Schools across the Slough Consortium (such as Upton Court Grammar School, Langley Grammar School, Herschel Grammar School, and St Bernard’s Catholic Grammar School).
How hard is it to get into Langley Grammar School from Windsor?

Getting into Langley Grammar School from Windsor can be competitive because the school has 180 Year 7 places, while 1,116 preferences were recorded for the 2025 allocation round. Your child must first meet the required 11 Plus standard, and the school then applies its published admission criteria.

Is the Slough 11 Plus the same for all schools in the Consortium?
Yes. The Slough Consortium uses the same 11 Plus test for its participating Grammar Schools. The 11 Plus process is overseen by the Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools, rather than each school running a completely separate entrance test.
How many places are available at Herschel and Upton Court?

Both schools set a Published Admission Number (PAN) for Year 7 entry:
Herschel Grammar School: 150 places
Upton Court Grammar School: 165 places

Is Easter revision enough for 11 Plus preparation in Berkshire?
No single Easter programme should be regarded as the complete preparation period. Pupils sitting the September 2027 examination have further months after Easter to consolidate learning, revisit difficult areas, and practise more.
How can my child improve speed in the 11 Plus exam during Easter?

Easter is a useful time to build speed through short, timed practice sessions rather than rushing through large numbers of questions. Reviewing where time was lost can help pupils become more efficient while maintaining accuracy.
