How a Year 5 Amersham student improved through summer mock practice

A Student Went From Hesitant To High-Scoring

The strict 11 Plus time limits used to overwhelm a bright Year 5 student from Erdington. Although she excelled during relaxed home study, she frequently panicked during timed GL Assessment practice. Everything changed when she joined our August online booster course. In our live, small-group sessions, she mastered rapid elimination shortcuts for complex Verbal and Spatial Reasoning puzzles. Daily sprint drills turned speed practice into an enjoyable game. By late August, she was finishing full mock papers comfortably, easily earning her Year 7 spot at Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for Erdington Families

For families in Erdington, summer is the key time to keep preparing for the GL Assessment. The weeks leading up to September can really help your child get ready. Here’s why:
The West Midlands Consortium uses the GL Assessment, which includes two multiple-choice papers testing English, Maths, and reasoning skills. Scores are age-standardised and weighted: 50% for English and verbal reasoning, 25% for Maths, and 25% for non-verbal reasoning.
To join Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School, boys must pass the West Midlands 11 Plus test. You need to register online by late June, take the exam in September, and include the school on your local council form by October 31. There are 192 places for Year 7.
To join Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls, your child must pass the West Midlands 11 Plus test. Parents need to register for the exam, take it in September, and list the school on their Local Authority form. Selection is based on age-standardised scores, and 180 places are available.
To get a Year 7 place at a King Edward VI Grammar School, your child must pass the 11+ entrance exam in Year 5. There are 180 places. For the 2026–2027 school year, you need to register for the test before 4:00 PM on Friday, June 26, 2026.
To apply for a Year 7 place in Birmingham or the West Midlands, send your application, including your school preferences, to your local authority, such as Birmingham City Council, by the national deadline, usually in late October.

For many families in Erdington and nearby areas such as Sutton Coldfield, Wylde Green, Boldmere, and Four Oaks, the 11 Plus summer course helps students prepare for exam day. It builds timing, confidence, and full-paper exam skills before September.
