Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in New Ferry?
Each August, 11 Plus Tutoring offers a booster programme for New Ferry’s Year 5 children as the Wirral Grammar Schools Consortium assessment approaches. Families in CH62, CH63 and CH64 are typically closest to Wirral Grammar School for Boys and Wirral Grammar School for Girls, both of which are a short distance away in Bebington, making them the most realistic local options for New Ferry households. These two schools share the same assessment with Calday Grange Grammar School and West Kirby Grammar School, further west, so a child sits the assessment once and can have the result used for any of the four.
For students in New Ferry, August is the one stretch of the year without school commitments, giving children space to firm up weaker areas and build genuine speed under timed conditions before the September assessment.

How Focused Tutor Feedback Improved Verbal Reasoning Skills
Before attending the Summer Booster Course, one Year 5 student from New Ferry regularly performed well in Maths but found Verbal Reasoning much more challenging. Tutors identified the pattern early and introduced targeted practice alongside detailed feedback after every mock paper. As his techniques and confidence improved, so did his results. By the end of the programme, his Verbal Reasoning scores matched his stronger subjects, leading to a more consistent overall performance.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for New Ferry Families
The Wirral Grammar Schools Consortium assessment is taken on a single day in two separate papers, assessing Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics.
Wirral Grammar School for Boys has a planned admission number of 170 pupils. Only students who meet the required standard in the ability- and aptitude-based selection process will be eligible for consideration.
As stated in the Wirral Council, meeting the grammar school standard is the initial requirement for admission consideration. Once this standard has been met, each school applies its own published oversubscription criteria to determine placements. Within this process, priority is given to children eligible for free school meals who meet the required standard, followed by all other eligible applicants.
The admission policy of Calday Grange School states that the school cannot guarantee a student’s choice of subjects, even when the entry requirements are met. Where a subject is oversubscribed, our oversubscription criteria protocol is applied.
Wirral Grammar School for Girls is a selective academy for girls aged 11 to 18. The published admission number for Year 7 entry in September 2027 is 180 pupils. Only those candidates who achieve the required standard in the selection process based on ability and aptitude will be eligible for consideration for admission.
For families in New Ferry and the surrounding areas, such as Oxton and Hoylake, the August 11 Plus course is designed to help children prepare for the September entrance test. Rather than introducing large amounts of new material, it focuses on timed exercises, complete mock papers, and repeated practice.
