Key Highlights of Our 11 Plus Online Summer Course
2027 Entry Note
This course in August 2026 is for Year 5 students who want to start at Shropshire Grammar School in September 2027. Market and The Grove School is the only secondary school in Drayton, and it does not use entrance exams to select students. If you want your child to attend a public grammar school, you will need to apply to a school outside Drayton. We recommend checking the official websites of West Midland Grammar Schools for the latest information.Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Market Drayton?
11 Plus Tutoring offers a summer booster programme in August for Year 5 students in Market Drayton. This programme helps students get ready for the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test, which takes place in September. The West Midlands Grammar Schools group includes all grammar schools in Birmingham, Shropshire, Walsall, Warwickshire, and Wolverhampton, and every student sits the same entrance exam.
In Shropshire, the two grammar schools are Newport Girls’ High School and Haberdashers’ Adams Grammar School for Boys in Newport. For Year 5 pupils, August is a key time to prepare, giving them the chance to focus on all the exam subjects before September.

Why Families in Market Drayton Seek the 11 Plus Summer Booster Courses?
Exam practice gap
Children need regular practice with long, timed papers in the GL Assessment format before the September exam. This is especially important because Market Drayton's secondary school does not take part in this selection process.
Timing and speed
Each test lasts about an hour. To do well on both papers, children need to be accurate and quick, which takes more than just knowing the material.
Reasoning subjects
The questions include math, verbal reasoning, and nonverbal thinking. These topics often do not get much focus in regular elementary school lessons.
Self-study plateau
If there is no set timetable or regular feedback from a tutor, children often lose motivation to keep up with summer revision during the holidays.
Confidence building
Completing full mock papers in realistic settings helps children feel more confident and ready for exam day.
Structured August learning
Having a regular weekly schedule in August gives families a clear plan for revision and helps keep preparation on track.

How 11 Plus Summer Preparation Made a Difference
After her family decided to apply to Newport Girls' High School, a Year 5 girl from Market Drayton joined a summer booster course. She needed to get ready for a selective entrance exam that was very different from anything she learned at The Grove School. The weekly sessions were her only steady way to prepare, and they helped her get to know the GL Assessment format since none of her classmates was aiming for the same goal. By the end of August, she had turned something unfamiliar into a process she felt ready for, and she was completing full-length mock papers with confidence.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for Market Drayton Families
The Grove School, the only secondary school in Market Drayton, operates on a non-selective basis. As local schools are not involved in the grammar school admissions process, families seeking a grammar school place must rely exclusively on independent preparation.
Haberdashers’ Adams does not designate a formal catchment area based on home address. Priority for day places is granted to children attending one of 35 specified primary schools within the borough of Telford & Wrekin.
Children attending other schools are still eligible to apply and will be considered after priority school applicants, in rank order of their test score. Market Drayton families therefore apply alongside all other non-priority applicants.
Newport Girls’ High School offers 120 places for September 2025 entry, with up to 15 reserved for pupils whose primary schools receive Pupil Premium Funding. The Published Admission Number (PAN) is updated annually on the school’s admissions page.
Attaining the qualifying score does not ensure admission to either school, as both institutions are highly competitive and oversubscribed annually. Dedicating August to consolidating all tested subject areas provides Market Drayton students with a robust foundation prior to the September entrance examination.
