2027 Entry Note
This August 2026 course prepares Year 5 pupils for the Wiltshire grammar school entrance tests held in September 2026 for September 2027 entry. Results are typically issued in October 2026, with school places confirmed through the local authority allocation process in March 2027. Registration for South Wilts Grammar School closes at midnight on Tuesday 1 September 2026 and Bishop Wordsworth’s School on Friday 26 June 2026. As Fordingbridge pupils attend Hampshire primaries, applications must be made directly to the Wiltshire grammar schools.

Most children sit their 11 Plus exam at their own primary school. Fordingbridge children have a different path. Families here live in Hampshire, but the nearby grammar schools they’re targeting are in Wiltshire: South Wilts Grammar School and Bishop Wordsworth’s School in Salisbury. Both use GL Assessment tests and are ranked among the top-performing schools in their region.
Fordingbridge sits on the edge of the Bishop Wordsworth’s School catchment, with families often choosing these schools despite longer travel and a more academically intensive environment. It makes summer 11 Plus preparation in August particularly important, as it not only prepares pupils for the entrance test but also helps families understand whether the journey, setting, and academic demands are the right long-term fit for their child.

Why Families in Fordingbridge Seek the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course
Exam practice gap
Children often understand the syllabus but lack sufficient experience working through full, timed papers under real exam-style pressure
Timing and speed
Many students need support in working more efficiently so they can complete questions accurately within strict time limits
Testing environment challenge
Children sit the exam in a Wiltshire grammar school setting, often in unfamiliar surroundings with formal procedures
Self-study plateau
Parents often seek guided teaching when progress slows despite continued independent revision at home
Confidence building
Regular exam-style practice helps pupils become more comfortable with formal testing environments and reduces anxiety
Avoid summer learning loss
Families prefer a consistent, planned approach during the summer holidays to ensure steady progress before September

Our 11 Plus Summer Local Success Story of a Year 5 Child from Fordingbridge
A high-achieving primary school student from the New Forest joined an August intensive programme feeling unsure about moving into a more selective academic environment. Over four weeks of structured, timed practice using selective 11 Plus entrance-style papers, she was gradually introduced to formal exam conditions and the pace required in competitive testing. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, she began to respond positively to the challenge, with her confidence and focus improving session by session. By the end of the summer course, she had developed stronger exam technique and a clear sense that she performed well under pressure, allowing her to go into the 11 Plus exams in September with confidence.
