Why Families in Carshalton Choose 11 Plus Tuition
A large number of families in Carshalton consider 11 Plus support after recognising the level of competition for Sutton’s Grammar Schools. This often happens in one or more of the following cases:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Carshalton Families
Sutton is home to five selective state Grammar Schools, all part of the same shared admissions process administered through the Sutton Council school admissions system. All five schools use the Selective Eligibility Test as their first-stage screen, with some schools running additional second-stage tests.
No fixed pass mark is published for the SET. Each school sets its own selective standard based on annual performance. Sutton Grammar School’s FAQ page confirms that a successful SET outcome does not guarantee a place; the Stage 2 exam also forms part of the overall assessment; and places are allocated by final combined score under each school’s admissions criteria.
Sutton Grammar School is a boys’ Grammar School, offering 150 places in Year 7. It is rated outstanding across all categories. It uses the Selective Eligibility Test to admit students in Year 7. Wilson’s School has 186 places in Year 7.
The SET (Selective Eligibility Test) consists of 2 multiple-choice papers, covering Maths and English. Both papers last approximately 40 to 50 minutes. Students who pass the SET are invited back for a second-stage exam consisting of 2 Maths and English papers that require written answers.
The pressure of limited Year 7 places and high competition is the main reason many Carshalton families begin 11 Plus preparation early and turn to expert support.

A Carshalton Student’s Progress in 11 Plus Preparation
Joining us at the start of Year 4, a boy from Carshalton had strong foundations in Maths but limited experience in Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Over 18 months of structured weekly lessons, progressive reasoning training, and full SET-style mock papers, he built the speed, accuracy, and confidence required to meet both Stage 1 and Stage 2 standards ahead of time.
11 Plus Maths
The Sutton SET includes a Maths element in its combined papers, and the boys’ Stage 2 tests assess written problem-solving in Maths separately. Our sessions develop numerical reasoning, algebra, geometry and data interpretation in a structured sequence, building the speed and accuracy needed under timed conditions for both stages.
11 Plus English
English runs through the SET Stage 1 papers, and the Stage 2 written English exam — covering comprehension, creative writing and inference- demands a significantly higher level of response. Our lessons build the close reading, structured writing, and vocabulary range needed for both stages of the Sutton process.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning is tested within the SET Stage 1 alongside English, and most children need direct, specific practice to perform well. We work through analogies, letter sequences, coded patterns and word relationships in a structured order, adding timed practice papers once each type feels manageable.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
NVR sits alongside Maths in the SET Stage 1 paper, and most children meet it for the first time through 11 Plus preparation. We guide pupils steadily through shape sequences, rule-spotting, rotations, reflections and matrix puzzles until what once felt random becomes a method they can apply reliably under time pressure.
How Our 11 Plus Tuition Plan Works for Carshalton Families

Lessons are shaped around both the SET Stage 1 format and the Stage 2 exam requirements of your child’s target school: boys’ written papers at Sutton Grammar or the NWSSEE papers for girls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who offers online 11 Plus tuition in Carshalton for Grammar School preparation?
Live online 11 Plus tuition is available from Adnan Khan Tutoring for Years 3 to 5 pupils in Carshalton and across Sutton, designed to prepare them for the Sutton SET and Stage 2 exams.
What is the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test?
The SET is the shared first-stage entrance test used by all five Sutton Grammar Schools. It takes place on 15 September 2026 and covers English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Registration is managed through Sutton Grammar School’s website and closes at midnight on 31 July 2026.
Does passing the SET guarantee a Grammar School place?
No. A successful SET outcome qualifies your child for Stage 2 consideration at the relevant school, but doesn’t guarantee a place. Each school applies its own oversubscription criteria and allocates places based on the combined SET and Stage 2 score in its admissions policy. See Sutton Grammar School’s FAQs for more detail.
When should my child start 11 Plus tuition in Carshalton?
Starting in Year 3 or Year 4 offers the best chance of meeting the SET Stage 1 subjects and Stage 2 written paper requirements before registration closes in July of Year 5.
How is the Sutton 11 Plus structured?
The Sutton 11 Plus process is divided into two stages. Stage 1 is the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET), which assesses English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Children who achieve the required standard are invited to Stage 2, which includes additional assessments set by individual Grammar Schools. The final allocation of places is based on each school’s admissions criteria and combined performance in the required assessments.
Is online 11 Plus tuition effective?
Yes. Live, one-on-one online lessons with real-time feedback and screen-sharing are just as effective as in-person sessions, giving children full exam preparation across all four subject areas without any travel.
Do you run 11 Plus mock exams?
Yes. We run timed mock exams in the SET format for Stage 1, plus targeted practice for the relevant Stage 2 papers, so students go into both tests already familiar with the format and pace.
