Looking for an Online 11 Plus Summer Course in Wolverhampton?
11 Plus Tutoring supports families right across the city, from WV1 in the centre out to WV3, WV4 and WV6, which runs a booster programme for Wolverhampton’s Year 5 children as they approach the West Midlands Grammar Schools entrance test whose daughters are working towards whose daughters are working towards Wolverhampton Girls’ High School on Tettenhall Road, the city’s own state grammar school, and a genuinely local option for most Wolverhampton postcodes. Wolverhampton has no state boys’ grammar school of its own, so sons most commonly apply to Queen Mary’s Grammar School in neighbouring Walsall, roughly 8 miles away. A number of families also weigh up the independent Wolverhampton Grammar School, which is based in the city itself but is fee-paying and has its own separate January entrance test.
August matters because it’s the only stretch of the year free from homework, spellings and school commitments. That breathing space lets a child shore up weaker topics and properly practise working to time, rather than facing a full GL-style paper cold for the first time when it actually counts in September.

Why Families in Wolverhampton Seek the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course
The leap from content to a finished paper
Knowing the syllabus and being able to complete a full timed paper accurately are two different skills, and only repeated full-paper mock practice bridges that gap
Keeping speed up without losing marks
Many children can answer questions correctly when given time, but need focused practice to do the same thing quickly enough to finish the paper.
Reasoning skills schools don't teach
Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning fall outside the normal primary curriculum, so families look for dedicated tuition to cover this ground
Needing more than home revision can offer
Once independent study has run its course, parents want a tutor who can identify precise weak spots and target them directly.
Easing nerves before the day itself
Children who've sat several realistic mock papers tend to feel steadier and less anxious walking into the actual test
Wanting August to follow a plan
Rather than loose, occasional revision, many families prefer a properly supervised programme running through the summer holidays

Improving Overall 11 Plus Performance Through Timed Mock Papers and Targeted Feedback
Managing full-length 11 Plus papers was initially difficult for a Year 5 student from Wolverhampton, as she struggled with time distribution across all sections. This affected her overall performance in early practice tests. Over the course, repeated timed mocks and detailed tutor feedback helped her develop a better exam strategy and focus. In the final sessions, she completed papers more effectively, with improved accuracy and stronger time management.

Why the 11 Plus Summer Booster Course Matters for Wolverhampton Families
The West Midlands Grammar Schools entrance test is provided by GL Assessment and consists of two multiple-choice papers, each roughly 50 to 60 minutes, covering English Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Mathematics and Non-Verbal/Spatial Reasoning, with no written-answer component at all.
Wolverhampton Girls’ High School is a selective grammar school for girls from 11 to 18 years with Academy Status. There is no charge or cost related to the admission of a pupil to the school. The number of intended admissions for the year commencing 1st September 2026 will be 180.
Marks are age-standardised and weighted 50% across English and Verbal Reasoning, 25% for Mathematics and 25% for Non-Verbal Reasoning, meaning a child needs balanced strength across all four areas rather than excelling in just one.
Boys applying to Queen Mary’s in Walsall follow a published order: no catchment area, Looked After children offered places first, then Pupil Premium applicants by rank order up to a cap of around 30% of places, with those attending a state-funded Walsall primary prioritised within that group, before the rest go strictly by score.
The admission policy of Queen Mary’s Grammar Schools says the Governors have resolved that the maximum number of pupils to be admitted to Year 7 is 180. This is the Published Admission Number. As a selective grammar school, Governors are not obliged to admit to this number.
