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
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
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
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
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
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.
