2027 Entry Note
This course, planned for August 2026, is for Year 5 students in Settle who want to prepare for grammar school entrance exams in September 2026. The aim is to help students enter Year 7 in September 2027. Families in Settle can apply to two North Yorkshire state grammar schools in nearby Skipton. Each school has its own registration process, entrance exam, and catchment area, which is focused on Skipton and the surrounding villages. Before registering, Settle families should check their address and eligibility with each school. Please also check the latest application dates for Ermysted’s Grammar School and Skipton Girls’ High School.Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Settle?
Each August, 11 Plus Tutoring offers Year 5 pupils in Settle a structured summer booster course designed to prepare them for the North Yorkshire grammar school entrance examinations held in September. This course supports families in Settle and the surrounding BD24 postcode area of Ribblesdale whose children are seeking admission to either Skipton Girls’ High School or Ermysted’s Grammar School, the two nearest state grammar schools located in Skipton, approximately seven miles southeast of Settle.
The summer preceding the 11 Plus examination represents a critical period of preparation for Year 5 students. By August, pupils have completed the primary school year and can consolidate their knowledge, address any remaining gaps, and develop the speed and confidence required for timed examination conditions before sitting their entrance exams in September.
For year-round preparation, join our online 11 Plus Settle Tuition.
Why Families in Settle Seek the 11 Plus Summer Booster Courses?
Practising the Real Exam Format
Many children understand the curriculum but have limited experience completing full-length timed papers in both the GL Assessment and FSCE formats used by local grammar schools.
Improving Speed and Accuracy
Success in the 11 Plus depends on working efficiently under timed conditions. Regular mock papers help pupils answer questions more quickly while maintaining accuracy.
Developing Reasoning Skills
Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning are not usually taught as part of the primary curriculum, making specialist tuition valuable during the final stages of preparation.
Preparing for Different Entrance Tests
Pupils applying to Ermysted's Grammar School need experience with GL Assessment papers, while Skipton Girls' High School uses the FSCE. A comprehensive course prepares children for both assessment styles.
Access to Specialist Tuition
Families across rural Ribblesdale often have fewer local 11 Plus tuition options than those living in larger towns. Live online lessons provide expert support without the need to travel from Settle.
Overcoming Self-Study Plateaus
During the final weeks before the exams, personalised tutor feedback helps children identify weaker areas and continue making meaningful progress.
Students we commonly support for 11 Plus in Settle
We help families in the BD24 area of Settle and nearby Ribblesdale communities, such as Settle, Pateley Bridge, Thirsk, Grassington and Gargrave. Our support also extends to students at local primary schools, including Settle Church of England Primary School and Giggleswick Primary School. Many of these children are now finishing their preparations for the September grammar school admissions exams, hoping to earn a Year 7 place at Ermysted’s Grammar School or Skipton Girls’ High School in September 2027.

How summer practice has helped our student from Settle
Before taking the Ermysted's Grammar School entrance exam in September, a Year 5 student from Settle enrolled in the summer booster course to develop the exam strategy and timed practice he needed. He gained speed, accuracy, and confidence in math, English, verbal reasoning, and nonverbal reasoning during the course of the four-week programme thanks to consistent practice and tutor feedback. By the last week, he was completing both papers on time with much more poise than he had at the beginning of August, approaching each section with a well-defined plan and feeling truly prepared for the test.
