If you’re considering 11+ preparation for your child, one of the most helpful first steps is a clear, low-pressure assessment.

At Cheltenham Tutors, we’re running a small group assessment session to help families understand where their child is currently working, and whether our groups would be a good fit. There is no cost for them but booking is essential (via the Google form at the bottom of this post) as spaces are limited.

Assessment Details

• Date: Wednesday 3rd June
• Time: 5:00pm
• Location: Holy Apostles church hall, Cheltenham
• Suitable for: Current Year 4 pupils (preparing for the 11+ in Year 5), as well as current Y3s

What does the assessment involve?

The session is designed to be calm, structured, and informative—not intimidating.

Children will complete a short assessment covering:

• Maths
• Reading comprehension
• English / verbal reasoning skills

We’ve designed this in line with the developing FSCE 11+ assessment, while also reflecting the broader skills needed for success in the 11+.

The aim is not to “catch children out”, but to:

• Identify strengths
• Highlight areas for development
• Give a clear starting point for preparation

Why attend an assessment?

Many parents aren’t sure:

• Whether their child is currently working at the right level
• What the 11+ actually requires
• When (or if) to begin preparation

This session helps answer those questions with specific, personalised insight, rather than guesswork.

After the assessment, we’ll provide:

• Clear feedback on your child’s performance
• Guidance on next steps
• Honest advice about whether small group tuition would be beneficial

For your child to join the small groups, taking the assessment is an important first step.

Our approach to 11+ preparation

At Cheltenham Tutors, we focus on:

• Small groups (maximum of 4 pupils)
• Careful, step-by-step teaching
• Building both confidence and accuracy
• Clear communication with parents

We’re not aiming for rushed or pressured preparation. Instead, we help children develop the skills they need to approach the 11+ with confidence and understanding.

Who is this for?

This assessment is most suitable if:

• Your child is in Year 4 or Year 3
• You are considering the 11+
• You would like a clear, professional starting point

It’s also helpful if you’re still deciding whether the grammar school route is right for your child.

Places are limited to keep the session calm and focused.

A final note

The 11+ process can feel unclear at times—particularly with changes such as the FSCE assessment.

Our aim is to provide clarity, honesty, and thoughtful guidance, so you can make the right decision for your child.
