Why Families in Barkingside Choose 11 Plus Tuition?
Many parents in Barkingside decide to arrange additional 11 Plus support after recognising that success in selective school entrance examinations requires more than good classroom performance. Usually, one or more of the following reasons encourages families to seek extra guidance:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Barkingside Families
Barkingside is part of the London Borough of Redbridge, where many families aim to secure places at highly successful grammar schools and selective schools. Competition for these schools is strong every year, making early preparation an important part of achieving success.
For the September 2026 entry, Redbridge Grammar Schools registrations data showed that 2062 children in the Redbridge area registered for the Redbridge 11 Plus examination. Of these, 820 achieved the automatic qualifying score of 104 and above, while 203 students out of these belong to the Barkingside area giving 820 total qualified children. This means 40% qualified across the Redbridge area.
In many cases, schools receive far more applications than available places, meaning children need to perform well in competitive entrance tests before they can be considered for admission. When this happens, places are allocated using the published admission rules to determine which children are offered admission.
The Redbridge Council 11 Plus Guide officially outlines that entry to any of the county’s grammar schools requires a qualifying score of 104 or above on the Redbridge 11Plus Selection Test.
These factors, together with increasing competition for selective school places, explain why many Barkingside families begin structured 11 Plus tuition during Year 3 or Year 4 to give their children enough time to prepare.

How a Barkingside Student Improved Their 11 Plus Preparation
A Barkingside student joined our online tuition programme in Year 4 after an initial assessment showed strong Maths skills but weaker performance in Verbal Reasoning and timed English comprehension. Over a structured two-year learning programme, weekly lessons, regular mock exams and detailed feedback helped the student improve speed, accuracy and confidence, leading to much stronger preparation for competitive grammar school entrance examinations.
11 Plus Maths
In our Maths lessons, tutors focus on developing problem-solving skills and exam technique, not just practising questions. Students learn how to answer number problems, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, algebra, geometry and data handling questions with confidence. We also teach children how to show clear working, manage their time effectively and check their answers carefully, helping to reduce mistakes during timed examinations.
11 Plus English
Children preparing for grammar school entrance examinations need strong reading, vocabulary and comprehension skills. During our online 11 Plus English lessons, students improve reading techniques, comprehension, inference, spelling, punctuation and grammar. Vocabulary is developed through regular practice with synonyms, antonyms, prefixes, suffixes and root words, helping children feel more confident when answering challenging English questions under timed conditions.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Our Verbal Reasoning lessons help students develop logical thinking while becoming familiar with the question types commonly used in selective entrance examinations. Through structured teaching, children learn how to solve letter sequences, word relationships, codes, analogies and other reasoning questions accurately. Regular timed practice and mock papers improve both speed and confidence, ensuring students become comfortable with different Verbal Reasoning question styles before the examination.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Many children find Non-Verbal Reasoning difficult when they first begin because the questions are based on visual thinking rather than classroom learning. Our lessons teach students how to recognise patterns, understand shape transformations, identify hidden rules and solve spatial reasoning problems. Through guided practice with rotations, reflections, matrices, codes and visual sequences, children steadily improve their confidence and problem-solving ability.
