How a Year 5 Amersham student improved through summer mock practice

Northfield Student Closed the Gap in 11 Plus Maths

A Year 5 student from Northfield enrolled in the summer booster course and demonstrated strong English and Verbal Reasoning skills. However, the student consistently ran out of time on the Mathematics paper, frequently leaving the final questions unanswered despite possessing the necessary problem-solving knowledge. The tutor identified limited calculation speed, rather than conceptual understanding, as the primary obstacle. As a result, the remaining sessions were restructured to include regular timed arithmetic drills alongside full mock examinations. By the end of August, the student was able to complete entire Mathematics papers within the allotted time, transforming a previous area of weakness into one approached with confidence.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for Northfield Families

For families in Northfield, August is the last meaningful block of preparation time before the September West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test.
To be eligible to apply for a place at any of the Grammar Schools in Birmingham, children are required to sit the entrance test, with all costs paid for by the grammar schools themselves.
King Edward VI Five Ways School will allocate 180 places for new Year 7 students in 2027, the school’s Published Admission Number (PAN) for the year. Northfield falls within the school’s named catchment area.
Local children in the catchment area therefore hold a strong priority position once the qualifying score has been reached, ahead of applicants living outside the named wards.
According to King Edward VI Five Ways School  admission policies and other schools in Birmingham, children reach the qualifying mark to be considered, with the top 25% of students nationally typically meeting this standard.
At National Offer Day in March 2024, 681 pupils were offered a place within the catchment area, while 281 were offered a place outside it. Devoting August to consolidating all tested subjects gives Northfield children the strongest possible foundation.
A focused summer booster course equips children across Northfield,  Moseley, Northfield, Harborne, Perry Barr and the surrounding B31 and B32 areas with sharper exam technique, improved timing and the confidence they need heading into the September entrance test.
