Looking for an online 11 Plus summer course in Barrowby?

Each August, 11 Plus Tutoring delivers a live online summer booster course to Year 5 families in Barrowby, providing structured, intensive preparation for the Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus ahead of the September test dates. Located in the NG32 postcode area just west of Grantham, Barrowby sits closest to The King’s School, Grantham and Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School, neither of which operates a fixed catchment area, meaning every Barrowby family applies on equal footing once their child reaches the qualifying score.

For Barrowby’s Year 5 children, the August break is the most valuable stretch of the entire preparation calendar. With the school year finished, there’s time to work properly on reasoning technique, practise full papers under realistic timed conditions, and build the kind of exam-day confidence that simply can’t be rushed in the final days before the two Lincolnshire Consortium sittings in September.

Why Families in Barrowby Choose the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course

As the Lincolnshire Consortium test dates draw closer each September, Barrowby families consistently move away from relying on self-study alone and toward a properly structured summer programme. The motivations tend to fall into a familiar pattern:
Fast-Track Success

Exam practice gap

A child can know how Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning questions work in principle and still struggle under genuine timed pressure, full mock-paper practice closes that specific gap before either September sitting

Expert-Led Group Sessions

Timing and speed

Since neither King's School Grantham nor Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School operates a catchment area, the score itself carries extra weight and a strong score depends on speed and accuracy built well before test day

Reasoning subjects

Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are never part of the regular school timetable, which is exactly why Barrowby families seek out tuition that addresses these specific skills directly rather than general revision

Self-study plateau

Many families notice that independent practice loses momentum as August wears on; targeted tutor feedback restarts that progress and sharpens exactly where it's needed

Daily Live Mock Tests & Instant Feedback

Confidence building

Working through full mock papers repeatedly across both reasoning formats means children experience the real pressure of the test well before either actual sitting in September

Boost Confidence with Real Feedback

Structured August learning

Families across Barrowby and the surrounding NG32 villages favour a consistent, supervised summer programme over ad hoc revision squeezed around the school holidays

Delivered entirely live online in small groups, the course means Barrowby families access specialist 11 Plus tuition from home throughout August: no travel, no scheduling conflicts, no disruption to summer plans.

Students We Commonly Support for the 11 Plus in Barrowby

How Our Student Prepare for the Lincolnshire 11 Plus Exams

Timed conditions had been making a student second-guess answers he would normally get right, so he joined the summer booster course wanting to build speed and composure across both Lincolnshire Consortium papers. Four weeks of structured online sessions, full mock papers under realistic time limits and clear, specific tutor feedback helped him develop a calmer, more methodical approach to both Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning questions. By the end of August, he was completing both paper types within the time limit and with noticeably steadier accuracy than when he had started.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Matters for Barrowby Families

As the September 11 Plus exam draws closer, Barrowby families often focus their attention on August as the decisive preparation window. It is during these final weeks that children consolidate knowledge, improve exam technique, and build the confidence required for success in the Lincolnshire Consortium assessments.
The GL Assessment exam is split across two dates: Verbal Reasoning on Friday 11 or Saturday 12 September 2026, and Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning on Friday 18 or Saturday 19 September 2026. (Source: Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools  Key Dates)
King’s School Grantham says that entry to Year 7 qualification is awarded to students who achieve a combined standardised score of at least 220 across the two tests. However, meeting the minimum qualification standard does not guarantee admission to any individual grammar school.
Kesteven and Grantham Girls’ School is a selective girls’ grammar school, which achieved academy status in September 2012. The school selects pupils for admission by means of Lincolnshire’s Co-ordinated Grammar Schools’ 11+ Assessments.
King’s School Grantham currently has 1,216 pupils enrolled against a stated capacity of 1,086 places, with roughly 174 Year 7 places offered annually.
According to the Lincolnshire Consortium of Grammar Schools, Candidates are asked to take a Verbal Reasoning Test and a Non-Verbal Reasoning Test, either in their own Primary Schools or in the Grammar School where they have registered, depending on their area. Meaning every hour of August preparation should be directed at these specific skills rather than general schoolwork.

For many families in Barrowby or nearby villages such as Market Deeping and Stamford, the 11 Plus summer course turns a year of preparation into a confident, well-paced performance across both Lincolnshire Consortium test dates in September.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who provides an online 11 Plus summer course in Barrowby?
For families in Barrowby, 11 Plus Tutoring provides a four-week live online summer course in August 2026 aimed at strengthening preparation for the Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus. Through small-group instruction, exam-style timed practice, and targeted tutor feedback, pupils develop stronger performance skills and greater confidence for the selection tests.
Is this course for the Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus?
Yes. The course is built around the Lincolnshire Consortium 11 Plus, set by GL Assessment and consisting of two separate papers, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning. Full information is available on the Lincolnshire County Council admissions page.
Does Barrowby fall within a catchment area for King's School Grantham?
No. The King’s School, Grantham does not operate a formal catchment area. Its oversubscription criteria prioritise Looked After Children, then Pupil Premium applicants, then children living within 30 miles of the school by straight-line distance, ranked by score. Barrowby sits comfortably within that 30-mile radius.
Does a qualifying score guarantee a place at King's School Grantham?
No. The standardised qualifying score is 220, but the school is currently oversubscribed, with around 1,216 pupils enrolled against a stated capacity of 1,086. A qualifying score makes a child eligible for consideration, not a guaranteed place.
Is this course suitable for complete beginners?
This course is mainly designed for Year 5 children who have already completed some 11 Plus preparation and need focused August revision, timed mock practice and feedback before the September tests. Families whose child is new to 11 Plus preparation should contact the team first to check whether the course is the right fit.
