Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Bardney?
Bardney may not be close to any grammar schools, but 11 Plus Tutoring offers a focused summer booster programme every August for Year 5 students preparing for the Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus exam. There are sixteen grammar schools in Lincolnshire, most of them south of Bardney, such as Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, Lincoln Minster School and Carre’s Grammar School. Fifteen of these belong to the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools (LCGS) and use the same 11 Plus test.
Bardney is about nine miles east of Lincoln, which no longer has a selective state school. This means, unlike many other villages in Lincolnshire, Bardney does not have a grammar school nearby. The test is the same for everyone, so families choosing this route, whether for a specific school further south or for family reasons, still need to prepare well. For Bardney families, August is the best time to get ready.

Why Families in Bardney Seek the 11 Plus Summer Booster Courses?
Exam practice gap
Children require repeated experience with full, timed papers in the GL Assessment format prior to the September exam, particularly given limited exposure to selective-style testing in the local area.
Timing and speed
Each paper lasts 55 minutes, and effective management of pace and accuracy across both the English and Verbal Reasoning paper and the Mathematics and Non-Verbal Reasoning paper requires consistent practice.
Reasoning subjects
Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are seldom included in the standard primary school curriculum, which requires families to organise targeted preparation independently.
Self-study plateau
In the absence of a structured programme and regular tutor feedback, independent summer revision often loses focus and momentum during the holiday period.
Confidence building
Full mock papers under realistic conditions help children feel composed and ready to perform on test day.
Structured August learning
Maintaining a consistent weekly timetable throughout August provides families with a clear revision plan and prevents preparation from becoming unfocused.
Students we commonly support for 11 Plus in Bardney
Students for 11 Plus summer preparation come from Bardney and nearby areas such as Market Rasen and Saxilby and the LN3, LN2, and LN4 postcode areas. Many attend the village’s Methodist Primary School or Bardney Church of England. Rather than joining the usual local trip to Lincolnshire grammar schools, families often choose a specific school further south, especially if a sibling already goes there or if family circumstances make the distance easier to manage.

How a Bardney Student Prepared for the 11 Plus Exams
A Year 5 student from Bardney enrolled in a summer booster course after his family decided to pursue admission to Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (QEGS), Horncastle. The course provided the only consistent preparation, as neither his school nor local peers were involved in the process. Over four weeks, regular mock examinations enabled the student to become familiar with the GL Assessment format. By late August, he was thoroughly prepared for an assessment not addressed by his regular school curriculum.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for Bardney Families
As no schools in or near Bardney are involved in this process, families need to prepare on their own over the summer. The 11 Plus uses GL Assessment papers. The Verbal Reasoning and the Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning tests take place on two Saturday mornings in a row, as scheduled by the Consortium of Lincolnshire Grammar Schools.
Bourne Grammar School takes 240 students per year, the same as the nearest consortium school. Still, Bardney families should check the admission number for the school they are interested in.
All Lincolnshire Consortium schools are located far south of Bardney, so distance is important in most schools’ oversubscription rules. Because of this, Bardney families need a strong overall score.
Admission to the Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus is highly competitive and determined by performance across both examination papers. To be considered, pupils must achieve a combined standardised score of 220 or higher, demonstrating strong ability across all tested areas.
A focused summer booster course helps children in Bardney, Southrey, Apley, and the LN3 area improve their exam technique, timing, and confidence for the September Lincolnshire 11 Plus test.
