Why Families in Kings Heath Choose 11 Plus Tuition
Many local families in Kings Heath consider 11 Plus support when they realise how competitive entry to Camp Hill and Birmingham’s other Grammar Schools has become, even for children who live right in the catchment area. It is usually one or more of these situations:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Kings Heath Families
Kings Heath is one of the few places in England where two nationally ranked Grammar Schools sit on the same road. Both Camp Hill schools are among the top state schools in the country and attract highly prepared applicants from across south Birmingham and beyond. The qualifying standard is significant, and preparation makes a measurable difference.
Both Grammar Schools in Kings Heath are part of the King Edward VI Foundation and share the same campus on Vicarage Road, B14 7QJ. King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys has a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 120 boys per year and consistently ranks among the top 50 state schools nationally. King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls also has a PAN of 150 girls per year and is rated Outstanding by Ofsted, frequently named the single best state secondary school in Birmingham. Qualifying candidates consistently oversubscribe both schools.
According to the policy of West Midlands Grammar Schools, scores are standardised for age and weighted as 50% English/Verbal Reasoning, 25% Non-Verbal Reasoning, and 25% Mathematics, meaning that a child who is strong in Maths alone still needs solid reasoning skills to do well overall.
For September 2026 entry, the qualifying score across all eight Birmingham Grammar Schools was 205, with a priority score of 224; the equivalent figures for September 2027 entry are confirmed by the schools’ Governors in November 2026, once this year’s results are in.
A weighting that rewards English and Verbal Reasoning above all else explains why many Kings Heath families begin structured 11 Plus preparation early and seek expert support to give their child the strongest possible chance.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Kings Heath
Families in Kings Heath and across the surrounding south Birmingham suburbs, including Moseley, Billesley, Brandwood, Druids Heath, Yardley Wood, Highters Heath, Warstock and Stirchley, can access our live online 11 Plus tuition. We regularly support children from Kings Heath Primary School, Allens Croft Primary School, and St Dunstan’s Catholic Primary School, serving B14 4, B14 5, B14 6, B14 7 and B13.
Families in the wider south Birmingham area, including Harborne and Handsworth, can also access our live online 11 Plus tuition through dedicated preparation pathways.
Many of these pupils are in Year 3, Year 4 or Year 5 and are preparing for selective entry to King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys or King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls, as well as other Birmingham Grammar Schools.
According to the King Edward VI Foundation, the entrance test for 2027 entry takes place on Saturday 12 September 2026, with registration via the West Midlands Grammar Schools. Families still need to submit their home Local Authority preference form by the national deadline of 31 October 2026.
We also provide 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition for Kings Heath students aiming to secure Grammar School places through later entry.
Helping a Kings Heath Student Build Confidence for the 11 Plus
A family from Kings Heath enrolled their child in our Year 4 programme after an assessment revealed a clear strength in Maths but a need for greater confidence in Verbal Reasoning and English comprehension. Because these subjects carry significant weight in the Birmingham entrance test, we created a targeted study plan. Across 18 months of live online tuition, regular practice tasks and timed mock examinations, the child developed the skills and consistency needed to achieve competitive results.
11 Plus Maths
Mathematics contributes 25% of the combined age-standardised score in the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test. Assessed across the two GL Assessment multiple-choice papers, it covers KS2 topics including number, measurement, geometry, statistics and algebraic reasoning. Although Maths has a lower weighting than English and Verbal Reasoning, a weak performance can still prevent a child from reaching the qualifying score of 205. Our tutors develop strong problem-solving skills, confidence with unfamiliar question types and effective multiple-choice strategies, including time management and answer elimination. You can learn more on our 11 Plus preparation page.
11 Plus English
English and Verbal Reasoning make up 50% of the combined score in the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test, placing them at the heart of effective 11 Plus preparation. For Kings Heath families aiming for Camp Hill Boys or Camp Hill Girls, our English programme develops comprehension, inference, vocabulary and structured writing skills through carefully planned online lessons. Every exercise is completed under timed conditions to prepare pupils for the pace and demands of the GL Assessment papers.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning forms 50% of the combined score alongside English in the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test. The assessment includes specialist GL Assessment question styles such as code substitution, letter sequences, word analogies, hidden words and deductive reasoning, requiring skills beyond the standard KS2 curriculum. For Kings Heath families targeting a priority score of 224, our tutors provide step-by-step instruction, systematic practice and timed exercises that develop speed, logic and confidence.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Accounting for 25% of the overall score, Non-Verbal Reasoning is an important part of the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test. Children complete GL Assessment questions involving shape patterns, matrix puzzles, rotations, reflections and spatial reasoning, all of which are unfamiliar to most primary school pupils. Our structured online tuition helps Kings Heath children master every question type while building speed and accuracy under realistic exam conditions.
