Why Old Trafford Families Choose the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course
Exam practice gap
Many Year 5 children in Old Trafford know the curriculum content but have limited experience of sitting full-length, timed GL Assessment papers -- exactly the gap the summer course closes
Speed and accuracy
The Trafford Consortium GL Assessment is competitive and timed; building the habit of working quickly and accurately under exam pressure requires repeated, structured mock practice
Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning
These subjects are not on the standard primary school timetable in Greater Manchester, meaning children in Old Trafford need expert coaching to build the skills the GL Assessment demands
Self-study plateau
By August, many families find that home revision is no longer producing clear gains -- expert tutor feedback and a structured course provide the direction needed to break through
Confidence building
Sitting repeated mock papers throughout August, under realistic timed conditions, steadily builds the composure children need to perform at their best on 14 September 2026
Structured August learning
Rather than allowing revision to drift over seven weeks, the course gives Old Trafford families a reliable three-sessions-a-week structure throughout August.

Steady Improvement in Timed Reasoning Through Summer Practice
Improvement in Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning was achieved during the August booster course by a Year 5 pupil from Old Trafford who initially found it difficult to manage time across full-length papers, particularly under exam pressure. Instead of focusing solely on content, the programme emphasised repeated, timed exposure to exam-style questions, helping to build familiarity with question patterns and improve decision-making speed. Tutor-led feedback after each mock highlighted specific areas for adjustment, allowing gradual correction and better exam technique. As the weeks progressed, both timing and accuracy improved significantly. By the end of the course, full papers were completed comfortably within the time limit, with a clear, structured approach in preparation for the September exam.
