Why Families in Broadstone Choose 11 Plus Tuition
For several Broadstone families, 11 Plus preparation becomes a priority once they realise how much the Dorset Consortium entrance test differs from anything children cover in primary school. The concerns that come up most:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Broadstone Families
Broadstone lies on the western edge of the BCP authority area, with Poole’s Grammar Schools the most geographically accessible selective options for local families. Applications are made through BCP Council’s school admissions service.
For Bournemouth School for Girls, the Published Admission Number for Year 7 in September 2026 is 180. For Bournemouth School (Boys), Published Admission Number 180; Parkstone Grammar School (girls, PAN 192); and Poole Grammar School (boys, PAN 180).
Each school applies its own oversubscription criteria once a child meets the qualifying standard. Poole Grammar School allocates places to qualifying boys in order of distance, prioritising Pupil Premium and looked-after boys first. Parkstone Grammar School follows a comparable structure for girls.
The four consortium schools collectively offer approximately 670 Year 7 places, and the test is sat by several thousand children across BCP and neighbouring areas each September.
The strong competition across all four consortium schools, along with a single shared test that determines access to all of them, leads many Broadstone families to begin structured 11 Plus preparation well ahead of the Year 5 registration window.

How Targeted 11 Plus Tuition Helped a Broadstone Student Improve Their Skills
Aiming for a place at Poole Grammar School, a Broadstone student followed an eighteen-month preparation programme that started in Year 4. His Maths skills were a clear strength, while Verbal Reasoning and timed English comprehension required focused development. With consistent tuition, targeted exercises and realistic mock assessments, he progressed into a confident and well-prepared 11 Plus candidate.
11 Plus Maths
The consortium’s 50-minute Maths paper covers Key Stage 2 content in a timed, multiple-choice format: numerical reasoning, problem-solving, geometry, data interpretation and early algebra. Our sessions build accuracy and pace in a structured sequence, with timed practice built in from early on so children are genuinely ready for the real test format.
11 Plus English
The 45-minute English paper tests comprehension, vocabulary and punctuation accuracy under timed conditions. Our lessons sharpen reading precision, inference techniques, and technical accuracy in vocabulary and spelling, always practised within the time limits of the real paper, so children build the pace they need for test day.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning is the third test paper in the consortium. It includes question types such as letter-and-number codes, word analogies, logical sequences, and hidden patterns that primary school doesn’t cover. We take pupils through every core VR type in a clear progression, adding timed practice steadily so that both speed and accuracy develop before the September sitting.

Consistent 11 Plus preparation across all three consortium test areas is what puts Broadstone children in the best position for a place at a Grammar School in Poole or Bournemouth. Here’s what families can expect:

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can help my child prepare for the 11 Plus in Broadstone?
Adnan Khan Tutoring provides dedicated online 11 Plus preparation for Broadstone families, supporting pupils through comprehensive Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning tuition aligned with Grammar School entrance requirements.
Which Grammar Schools are most accessible from Broadstone?
Broadstone’s BH18 postcode places Poole Grammar School (boys) and Parkstone Grammar School (girls) as the most geographically accessible consortium schools. Bournemouth School and Bournemouth School for Girls are also reachable via the same shared entrance test.
How is the Dorset Consortium entrance test structured?
The test consists of three GL Assessment multiple-choice papers: Maths (50 minutes), English (45 minutes) and Verbal Reasoning, all sat on the same morning in late September 2026 at one of the four consortium schools. There is no Non-Verbal Reasoning paper in the BCP consortium test.
Does meeting the qualifying standard guarantee a place?
No. Meeting the standard qualifies a child for consideration at consortium schools, but places are then allocated under each school’s own oversubscription criteria. See Poole Grammar School’s admissions policy and BCP Council’s admissions guidance for full details.
When should my child start 11 Plus tuition in Broadstone?
Starting in Year 3 or Year 4 gives the most time to cover Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning properly before registration closes on 4 September 2026.
Is online 11 Plus tuition effective for Grammar School preparation?
Yes. Live, one-on-one online lessons with screen-sharing and real-time feedback are just as effective as in-person tuition, giving children complete preparation across all three test areas from home.
Do you run 11 Plus mock exams?
Yes. We run full-length, timed mock exams in the GL Assessment format covering all three consortium test papers, so students are fully familiar with the pace and question styles before the real test.
