2027 Entry Note
Year 5 students can benefit from this August 2026 preparation course for the Dorset Consortium 11 Plus test in September 2026, targeting grammar school entry in September 2027. The Dorset Consortium entrance test for 2027 entry takes place in late September 2026; the confirmed date for Bournemouth School for Girls is Saturday 26 September 2026. Families register via any one of the four consortium school websites. Full details are on the BCP Council website.
Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Boscombe?
Each August, 11 Plus Tutoring runs a fully live online summer booster course that Boscombe families can join from home, providing structured intensive revision throughout the most critical preparation period before the September test. Families in Boscombe and the surrounding BH1, BH5 and BH7 postcode areas whose children are preparing for selective school entry benefit significantly from this course, particularly those targeting Bournemouth School (boys), Bournemouth School for Girls, Parkstone Grammar School (girls) and Poole Grammar School (boys); all four schools share one entrance test, meaning one registration and one exam day covers every application.
August gives Year 5 children the time and space that a busy school year simply cannot provide. With primary school behind them and the September test approaching, this is when full-paper timed practice, expert feedback and steady repetition convert solid preparation into genuine exam readiness.

Why Families in Boscombe Choose the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course
Exam practice gap
Even well-prepared children often lack sufficient experience of timed, full-paper practice in the exact format the local 11 Plus follows
Timing and speed
Students often need to improve accuracy and speed under exam pressure
Reasoning subjects
Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are not covered in the primary school curriculum, making structured August coaching especially valuable
Self-study plateau
Expert tutor feedback during the final August weeks helps children break through performance ceilings that home study alone cannot shift
Confidence building
Weekly mock sessions build composure and familiarity with exam conditions so children arrive in September feeling genuinely ready
Structured August learning
Families prefer a reliable, supervised weekly programme throughout the holidays rather than unstructured revision at home

How a Year 5 Student from Boscombe Sharpened Her Exam Technique
After spending the previous year preparing independently using practice materials, a Year 5 girl from Boscombe joined the summer course when she realised that Verbal Reasoning was significantly harder to complete within the required time. Through four weeks of structured online sessions, weekly targeted mock tests, and detailed tutor feedback, she gradually improved her pacing and exam technique. By the end of August, she had moved from inconsistent timing to completing each paper with time to spare. She entered the Dorset Consortium format with a calm, reliable method and a level of confidence she had not experienced at the start of the month.
