11 Plus Tutoring offers an intensive summer booster course for students in Whalley throughout August every year, providing structured, high-impact revision for Year 5 children preparing for the regional entrance exams in September. The course supports families across Whalley and the surrounding BB7 postcode areas whose children are working towards Grammar School places at highly competitive schools, including Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School, Lancaster Girls’ Grammar School and Lancaster Royal Grammar School.
The summer break is the best time for Year 5 students to prepare. By August, children have finished the school year and can focus on reviewing what they have learned, fixing any weak areas, and practising speed and timing in test-like conditions before their entrance exams in September.
For year-round preparation, we offer live online 11 Plus Tuition.
Why Families in Whalley Seek the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course

Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning are not usually taught in primary school. We teach these skills step by step.

How a Year 5 Whalley Student Went From Running Out of Time to Finishing With Confidence
Time was the biggest problem for one Year 5 student from Whalley. In early FSCE practice papers for Clitheroe Royal Grammar School, he was consistently running out of time on both the English and Maths sections, leaving questions blank and making careless errors under pressure. By joining our live online 11 Plus summer booster course, he found that weekly timed mock papers and structured pacing drills helped him build a clear strategy for working through each section efficiently. By the final week of August, he was completing full papers within the time limit, making far fewer mistakes, and approaching the September test with genuine calm and confidence.
