11 Plus Tutoring provides a summer booster course for families in Solihull each August every year, offering intensive, targeted revision to prepare Year 5 students for the GL Assessment entrance test in September. Solihull is specifically named among the priority catchment wards for the King Edward VI Foundation Birmingham Grammar Schools, providing local children with a strong local pathway into schools such as King Edward VI Handsworth Grammar School for Boys and King Edward VI Handsworth for Girls.
The summer before the 11 Plus exam is the period that genuinely shapes how confident Year 5 students feel on test day, and Solihull’s competitive selective landscape makes that preparation time especially valuable. August gives children the freedom to work consistently on English, Maths, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning, free from the demands of term time, while building the timed-paper stamina needed for the consortium exam. Solihull families who commit to structured summer revision tend to find September arrives with confidence already built rather than left to chance.
