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. For more information, visit the Wiltshire Government Site.

Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Fordingbridge?

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

It is common for families in Fordingbridge to turn to the 11 Plus summer booster course because the Wiltshire grammar school selection tests are set for September, making August preparation very crucial for students to prepare in a structured, focused way rather than relying on unsupervised revision. Common reasons include:
Fast-Track Success

Exam practice gap

Children often understand the syllabus but lack sufficient experience working through full, timed papers under real exam-style pressure

Expert-Led Group Sessions

Timing and speed

Many students need support in working more efficiently so they can complete questions accurately within strict time limits

How a Year 5 Amersham student improved through summer mock practice

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.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for Fordingbridge Families

For families in Fordingbridge, the summer before the Wiltshire grammar school entrance tests is not a period to step back from preparation. It represents the most important revision window in the entire journey. Here is why the final weeks before September make such a significant difference:
The Wiltshire test for grammar schools is in September, not July or October. August is the final month for intensive preparation. Once September arrives, families must make their school allocation decisions with whatever progress their child has demonstrated.

According to South Wilts’ 11+ Selection Procedure for Entry in September 2027, the school admits 160 students per year. This means competition for Fordingbridge applicants.

South Wilts uses GL Assessment papers with three separate tests (Maths, English, and Verbal Reasoning), with scores standardised by age and added together for the final result. The school offers a free familiarisation Verbal Reasoning paper on Saturday 19 September 2026. Our 11 Plus summer practice directly mimics this format and conditions.
Bishop Wordsworth’s has a Planned Admission Number (PAN) of 160 places per year. The school also reserves 10 places for Pupil Premium-eligible applicants at a 10% lower qualifying standard, meaning the remaining places (approximately 150) are fiercely contested. Fordingbridge applicants as out-of-area candidates must perform significantly above the qualifying threshold to overcome distance-based oversubscription criteria.
Bishop Wordsworth’s examination format consists of two papers: Paper 1 covers Non-Verbal Reasoning and Maths; Paper 2 covers English and Verbal Reasoning, totalling 1 hour 30 minutes. The school operates a waiting list where boys are placed in priority order regardless of when they applied, meaning strong performance directly determines waiting-list position.

For many families living on the Hampshire-Wiltshire border, from Fordingbridge, Downton, Nomansland, Whiteparish, Redlynch, and surrounding communities, the 11 Plus summer course is an ideal fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who provides the online 11 Plus summer course for Fordingbridge families?
Our live online 11 Plus summer booster supports Year 5 pupils in Fordingbridge and nearby areas such as Downton, Ringwood, and the New Forest. The August 2026 course is designed for final preparation before selective entrance testing, using small-group teaching, timed practice papers, and regular tutor feedback.
Is this course linked to Wiltshire grammar school entry?
Yes. Many Fordingbridge families use this programme to prepare for Wiltshire selective school entrance exams, which assess Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning in a formal written test setting.
Does passing the test guarantee a grammar school place?
No. Schools use the qualifying score as the first stage of the admissions process, but they allocate places according to their own admissions criteria, including oversubscription rules, ranking, and distance from the school.
Is this suitable for children new to 11 Plus preparation?
We designed this course primarily for Year 5 pupils in Fordingbridge who are taking exams in September. However, families can contact us to discuss the right for child in Year 3 or Year 4.
Is Fordingbridge really within the Wiltshire grammar school catchment?
South Wilts Grammar School’s designated area includes Nomansland and Downton in the south. Fordingbridge sits just beyond this, so technically out-of-area. However, the school welcomes applications from beyond the designated area, with distance becoming a factor in oversubscription. You are certainly within reasonable travelling distance, but you are at a slight disadvantage compared to in-area applicants.
