Online 11 Plus Intensive Summer Course Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire 2026
Pate’s Grammar School in Cheltenham and Sir Thomas Rich’s School in Longlevens are the nearest school options for Tewkesbury families, and, as a member of the wider Gloucestershire Grammar Schools Consortium, they share a single FSCE entrance test with the rest of the county’s selective schools. That shared test means children only need to sit one exam to be considered across multiple schools. Our online 11 Plus intensive summer booster course prepares Year 5 children for it through a 4-week programme of small-group teaching, covering Maths and English ahead of September 2026, and is open to families across Tewkesbury, Walton Cardiff, and the GL20 postcode area.

11 Plus Tutoring provides a summer booster course for families in Tewkesbury each August every year, offering intensive, targeted revision to prepare Year 5 students for the 11 Plus entrance test in September. Tewkesbury is around eight miles from Pate’s Grammar School in Cheltenham, the nearest school to the town, and local families also look towards Sir Thomas Rich’s School and the other Gloucester selective schools that share the same consortium test.
The summer before the 11 Plus exam is the period that genuinely shapes how ready Year 5 students feel come September, particularly for Tewkesbury families facing a daily journey to Cheltenham or Gloucester. August gives children time to work through practice papers properly, strengthen weaker subjects, and build the speed and confidence required by timed conditions, all before sitting the FSCE entrance test in September.

Summer Mock Exams Transform Year 5 Students' Confidence and Focus
With September around the corner, a Year 5 boy from Tewkesbury spent his summer on our 11 Plus summer booster course for mock exam practice. The four-week programme included online small group lessons, each based on FSCE-style papers. Regular mock test practice and comprehensive feedback from an experienced 11 Plus tutor helped him identify exactly where he was dropping marks and how to fix them.
