Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Canford Heath?

11 Plus Tutoring provides a targeted summer booster programme in August for Year 5 students in Canford Heath, specifically designed to address the requirements of the Dorset Consortium entrance exam held in September. The two nearest selective grammar schools, Poole Grammar School for boys and Parkstone Grammar School for girls, include Canford Heath’s BH17 postcode within their priority catchment areas. Applicants need to register and take the entrance exam only once, regardless of the number of Dorset Consortium grammar schools to which they apply, as all four schools utilise the same set of entrance exams. Bournemouth School for Girls and Bournemouth School for Boys, which also use a joint entry exam, present additional options for families.

How a Year 5 Amersham student improved through summer mock practice

How a Canford Heath Student Boosted Maths Skills

Aware that Poole Grammar School was situated nearby on Gravel Hill, a Year 5 pupil from Canford Heath enrolled in the summer booster course despite feeling unprepared for the admission exam. Although she performed well in regular mathematics classes, she often second-guessed correct answers and changed them under time constraints, resulting in the loss of marks she had initially earned. Through structured mock examinations and detailed tutor feedback, she gradually learned to distinguish when a question warranted reconsideration and when her initial response was reliable. By the final week, she approached the exam papers with a calm, systematic confidence that had been absent at the start of August, and her mathematics scores across the completed mock papers had improved significantly.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for Canford Heath Families

August is the final significant period of time for Canford Heath families to prepare for the consortium entrance exam on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
According to Poole Grammar School admission, the shared Dorset Consortium entrance examination consists of three GL Assessment papers: Mathematics (50 minutes), English (45 minutes),and Verbal Reasoning (50 minutes). Registration and completion of the test once is sufficient for consideration by all four consortium schools.
The closest Dorset grammar school to Canford Heath families is Poole Grammar School, situated on Gravel Hill, Canford Heath, BH17 9JU. Year 7’s published admission number is 180.
Local boys are in a strong priority position once the qualifying criterion is met because Canford Heath’s BH17 postcode falls within the priority catchment region, which includes the historic Borough of Poole postcodes BH12, BH13, BH14, BH15, BH16, BH17, BH18, and BH21 3.
Parkstone Grammar School’s admissions criteria 2026 states that girls who meet the eligibility requirements and reside within the historic Borough of Poole postcodes, including BH17, receive preference over applicants from outside these areas.
Poole Grammar School does not publish a fixed pass score. When the number of applicants meeting the qualifying standard exceeds available places, oversubscription criteria are applied in a predetermined order of priority. Passing the entrance exam does not guarantee admission to any consortium school. Families who dedicate August to comprehensive preparation across all three tested subject areas offer their children the strongest possible foundation before the September examination.
A targeted summer booster course provides students in Canford Heath, Canford Heath, Boscombe , and the surrounding BH17 and BH12 areas with enhanced exam techniques, improved time management, and increased confidence in preparation for the September consortium test.
